Predicted Teams Osasuna-Barcelona: Roony Bardghji set for second consecutive start
Osasuna host Barcelona at El Sadar on Saturday night at 21:00 CEST, with the Catalan side knowing that a win moves them within a single result of the title. Los Rojillo are in hot pursuit of European football though, and are just two points back from Getafe in 6th after their win at the death against Sevilla last week.
They currently sit 9th in La Liga, with an eight-point gap to Sevilla that should see them safe from relegation. For the home side, the headline injury news is that star winger Victor Munoz is out through injury. Barcelona have welcomed Raphinha and Marc Bernal back from injury, but their own star winger Lamine Yamal also remains out. Defenders Andreas Christensen, through injury, and Jules Kounde, through suspension, will both miss the match too.
For Hansi Flick, the debate seems to be up front. MD predict it will be Robert Lewandowski at number nine, while Sport believe it will be Ferran Torres. Both agree that Roony Bardghji is set for a second straight start in place of Lamine Yamal. Eric Garcia is expected to fill the gap vacated by Kounde.
Otherwise, Flick is not expected to change the side that beat Getafe 2-0 last weekend at the Coliseum, with all of Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Pedri and Dani Olmo starting.
The likelihood is that Raul Moro deputises for Munoz on the left for Osasuna, but Alessio Lisci is also set to keep a settled line-up for the clash. Ante Budimir will lead the line, with Ruben Garcia and Aimar Oroz providing the service from behind him.
The match is scheduled for 21:00 CEST on Saturday.
Barcelona will be without Lamine Yamal, Andreas Christensen, and Jules Kounde due to injury and suspension.
Osasuna is currently 9th in La Liga, just two points behind Getafe in 6th place, making them competitive for European qualification.

In midfield, it seems Iker Munoz will be preferred over the more physical Lucas Torro next to Jon Moncayola. Los Rojillo are in mixed form, with just two wins in their last eight games, but have only lost once in five. Barcelona are currently on a nine-game winning run in La Liga.
