Barcelona welcome Osasuna to Camp Nou on Sunday evening in La Liga as Xavi Hernandez's side aim to keep up their strong recent run of form.

The Blaugrana have won five and drawn one of their last six league matches and are overwhelming favourites to claim three points against an Osasuna side who have a very poor record in this fixture.

Barcelona vs Osasuna latest odds

Osasuna recorded a 2-1 win against a deflated Barca at Camp Nou in July 2020, but normal service was resumed last season with the Blaugrana recording a 4-0 victory.

Indeed, Barca have scored 36 goals in their last seven home games against Osasuna in all competitions and bet365 offer the hosts at 1/3 (1.33).

The visitors, meanwhile, are available at 9/1 (10.00) with the draw at 15/4 (4.75).

Barcelona vs Osasuna first goalscorer

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the shortest priced player to net first at Camp Nou with the former Arsenal striker having already netted five goals in all competitions for his new side.

The Gabonese striker is available at 11/4 (3.75) while Barca's top scorer this term Memphis Depay is offered at 3/1 (4.00).

For the visitors, their two centre-forwards Kike Garcia and Ante Budimir are both priced at 12/1 (13.00).

Barcelona vs Osasuna preview

The Catalans come into the game following a disappointing 0-0 draw on Thursday night against Galatasaray in the Europa League and will be keen to rediscover the scoring form they had shown prior to that encounter.

The last time Barca failed to score in a match had been the December 8 against Bayern Munich and in La Liga they have netted in their last 11 games, scoring at least twice in their last five.

Defensively though the Catalans remain vulnerable and their record of three clean sheets in 12 home games this season underlines the question marks that still surround Barca's back line.

Osasuna are far from the most prolific side in the division, but they do boast some dangerous attacking players and backing them to get on the score sheet at Camp Nou could be profitable.

Barcelona vs Osasuna tips & predictions

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 6/4 (2.50) and looks like an interesting option for Sunday night's game, one that has paid out in four of Barcelona's last five league games.
