Barcelona will welcome Osasuna at the Estadio El Sadar this Saturday night as they hope to secure a win at home in La Liga. The Catalan club secured a narrow 1-0 win against Getafe recently which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game.
Hansi Flick will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one change to his first team for this clash. Pedri could get a chance to impress from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup To Face Osasuna
Defence
Inaki Pena will feature in between the sticks for the Catalan club after he secured a clean sheet in his last outing. Inigo Martinez will continue to function alongside Pau Cubarsi at the heart of Flick’s defence as they try to keep the opposition at bay throughout the 90 minutes.
Jules Kounde would be a nailed-on starter as the right-back while Alejandro Balde hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Hector Fort will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Pedri and Eric Garcia will operate as Flick’s holding midfielders as they try to get a foothold in the game at the centre of the park. The talented trio of Raphinha, Pau Torre and Lamine Yamal will play just ahead of them as part of Barcelona’s attack.
Both Raphinha and Lamine Yamal would look to stretch the Osasuna backline frequently and create some inviting chances in the final third.
Ansu Fati will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Robert Lewandowski will lead the line for the Catalan giants up top. The Polish striker managed to score the winner against Getafe and would be eager to do the same this Saturday night.
Ferran Torres will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if Barca are in need of a goal by then.
