Betting Tips
On Thursday night in Riyadh, Barcelona and Osasuna will play in the second semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup at Al Awal Park at King Saud University. Blaugrana, who will also play in the Saudi capital, will defend the trophy they won exactly one year ago when they defeated Real Madrid 3-1 in the championship game.
Barcelona vs Osasuna
Barcelona will play Osasuna in the semi-finals on Thursday to defend their Super Copa championship. Despite their recent lackluster play, the Catalans should still have too much quality to overcome Osasuna, who have had a challenging campaign thus far.
Barcelona is currently eight points behind the leaders in the La Liga title race, having been far from their best this season. They have, however, won three of their last four games, suggesting that they are beginning to regain their form. Barcelona has won both of its games this year, and they are off to a strong start in 2024. They started the week off by defeating Las Palmas 2-1 in La Liga before winning 3-2 at Barbastro in a Copa Del Rey match the previous weekend.
After a goalless draw in the regular ninety minutes of play, Arrasate’s team overcame Castellon, a team in the Segunda Division, in extra time to advance to the Copa del Rey round of sixteen.
Although Barcelona and Osasuna both had plenty of scoring opportunities to score in their cup matches, their attacking performances point to a high-scoring outcome in their head-to-head meeting in Saudi Arabia.
Another reason to feel confident is that Barcelona are the defending champions of the Spanish Super Cup, having beaten Real Madrid in last year’s final. Xavi’s men will be keen to retain their title, as that could be their only piece of silverware this season, given the way their campaign has panned out so far.
Verdict
Barcelona has been winning games lately; they have won three straight; nevertheless, the margin of victory has only been one goal in each of those victories. The Blaugrana have won their last 12 games by a single goal, including their most recent Copa del Rey matchup against fourth-tier UD Barbastro.
The last three times Barca has defeated Osasuna, the difference has only been one goal. Although Xavi’s Barcelona team hasn’t exactly struggled for goals this season, they have scored a lot fewer than Real Madrid and Girona, the top two teams in La Liga.
They have also failed to score more than once in six of their previous ten league games. They will be playing an Osasuna club that has won its last four games 1-0 thanks to three clean sheets.
This season, Barcelona has already won five games 1-0, and they may win six in Riyadh.
