With international breaks in full swing, Barcelona's players are visibly fatigued, and manager Flick has confirmed that Alaujo and Rafinha will be absent. Fortunately, several forwards can fill the gaps, keeping their strength intact. Barcelona are currently in excellent form, winning both the Champions League and La Liga, and are temporarily at the top of the table. Therefore, they will not afford to be complacent in this match against the weaker Osasuna.
Osasuna are in poor form, winless in six matches, and have slipped to 14th in the league, just five points above the relegation zone, facing increasing pressure to avoid relegation. Their away form is also poor, with only one win in twelve matches, their attack weak and their away record abysmal. Their historical record against Barcelona is also poor, with more losses than wins. Although they have had a longer rest, competing at Camp Nou will be no easy task.
Osasuna previously defeated Barcelona 4-2 at home this season, which may boost their morale. However, from a data perspective, I still firmly support Barcelona. Despite numerous comments about fatigue, I personally believe that Barcelona will not underestimate us.
