Barcelona VS Osasuna
I am very interested in today's match between Barcelona vs Osasuna. These two teams will meet in the semi-finals of the Super Cup. Barcelona's performances have been somewhat erratic, but this team is quite strong. Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title are slim. So Xavi will definitely want to win the Super Cup title.
Osasuna's performance in La Liga is not good enough. In 19 matches they have earned only 22 points. Also Osasuna's performance against Barcelona is not very good. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, Barcelona have won 4 matches and drawn 1 match. Barcelona have won their last four matches. So I think the possibility of Barcelona winning in the Super Cup match is high.
On paper, Barcelona should be able to win this match, especially in terms of team quality, we both know that the two of them have quite a clear gap, either in terms of player depth or in terms of ranking. apart from that, these two teams have a gap based on the betting market. Unfortunately, Xavi Hernandez's squad is currently performing really unstable. and what I notice most about Barcelona at the moment is their defense, they are really easy for their opponents to penetrate. in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona conceded two goals to their opposing team in the last match. in this match, we'll see if Xavi makes any changes to his defensive line. in particular, it's natural that I have serious doubts about Inaki Pena. Ter Steger's absence is very influential for Barcelona's goalkeeper.
On the other hand, this match was tough enough for Osasuna to match Barcelona, let alone overthrow them. even though the match was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which means it was neutral. but it was still not an easy matter for Jagoba Arrasete to bring his team to victory over Barcelona. moreover, based on H2H, Barcelona always wins over Osasuna. referring to betting odds, Barcelona with @1.46 and while Osasuna @6.60. well, we agree with the speculation that Barcelona will win this match. but the question is, will there be 3 goals in this bet. or, the match will be quite tough. btw, every time I try to predict Barcelona it always fails. even though, Barcelona is one of my favorite teams. but if I refer to the predicted line-up for these two teams. this match should produce lots of goals, at least my assumption is that this match will produce 3 goals.
