Barcelona will look to cling onto their desperate La Liga title hopes when they host Osasuna on Thursday at 8:00 PM.
The Blaugrana currently sit four points adrift of league leaders and fierce rivals Real Madrid with just two games remaining and know they simply must win here if they’re to have any chance of retaining their title. That said, if Los Blancos win their fixture against Villarreal — which is being played at the same time — Barca‘s hopes of La Liga glory will be over for this season.
In Osasuna, Quique Setien‘s men will be facing a team in form. Jagoba Arrasate has made Los Rojillos hard to break down of late and with just one defeat in their last six games, confidence is high.
Osasuna won’t finish in the European spots this season but with two games to go, there is every chance they push their way into the top eight and they’ll be keen to overhaul La Liga heavyweights Valencia and Athletic Bilbao to do so.
There’s all to play for at the Nou Camp, so read on for our preview of Barcelona vs Osasuna.
