Barcelona vs Osasuna predictions & betting tips
Discover how Barcelona's impressive 7-match winning streak in LaLiga could shape their crucial clash against Osasuna, who stunned the Catalans in their last encounter.
Barcelona and Osasuna face off this Thursday, 27 March 2025, at the Olímpic Lluís Companys in a LaLiga encounter that pits the league leaders against a struggling side. Barcelona enter the fixture on a seven-match winning streak, underlining their dominance this season. In stark contrast, Osasuna sit 14th, winless in their last six matches, and in desperate need of points to steer clear of relegation trouble. With both teams under contrasting pressures, the stakes are significant.
Barcelona, perched at the top of LaLiga, boast a remarkable goal difference of +48 and an imposing home record, winning nine of their 12 matches at the Olímpic Lluís Companys. Their attacking threat is undeniable, averaging 2.74 goals per home game, with Robert Lewandowski leading the charge on 22 goals this season. Osasuna, however, have struggled defensively, conceding in each of their last 13 matches. Their away form has been equally concerning, with just one win on the road all season, highlighting the scale of the challenge they face.
The historical record heavily favours Barcelona, who have triumphed in 29 of their last 46 meetings with Osasuna, including 17 wins in their last 22 home clashes. However, Osasuna can take heart from their most recent encounter, where they claimed a rare victory. Forwards Ante Budimir and Bryan Zaragoza will need to seize any opportunities, particularly during their strongest scoring period between the 16th and 30th minutes. Yet, Barcelona’s psychological edge at home, where they have remained unbeaten against Osasuna since 2020, could prove decisive.
As the match looms, the question is whether Osasuna can defy the odds and reignite their season or if Barcelona will extend their winning run and tighten their grip on the LaLiga title race. With Barcelona’s attacking firepower and Osasuna’s fight for survival, this Thursday night clash promises high stakes and plenty of drama.

Barcelona’s formidable home form makes the Home Win a standout choice. The Catalan side have triumphed in 17 of their last 22 home fixtures against Osasuna and are currently riding a seven-match winning streak in LaLiga. Unbeaten in their last 18 matches, Barcelona have also secured nine victories from 12 home fixtures this season.

Secondary bet: Over 2.5 Goals @ 33/100
The Over 2.5 Goals market is equally appealing, backed by Barcelona’s attacking efficiency, with an average of 2.74 goals scored per home match. Osasuna’s defensive vulnerabilities are glaring, having conceded in each of their last 13 outings. Historical encounters between these sides have averaged 2.6 goals per match, and Barcelona’s knack for late goals—23% of their total scored between the 76th and 90th minutes—adds further weight to the likelihood of a high-scoring affair.
