Last July 16th, Osasuna was the last visitor to Camp Nou of LaLiga 19-20. Despite staying with ten players, the Navarrese team prevailed by 1-2 and that Navarrese victory crowned the Real Madrid as champion mathematical. After the game, Messi unleashed a storm that anticipated what was going to happen next by declaring: “It has become clear that they have to change many things, it doesn't even give us to win LaLiga. “Four months later, Osasuna returned to the scene of the crime (Camp Nou 2:00 p.m. Movistar LaLiga) to meet a Barcelona sunk in Doubts (follow the game live on AS.com). If we add to that that Barça failed in their visit to Pamplona, we can deduce that the culé team is facing trauma.
And if that was not enough, Barcelona Y Osasuna they come to the duel tied at eleven points after being officially played ten days, although the Barça fans have only played eight games, one less than the Navarrese.
Both teams are three points above the decline that marks the Levante. A trajectory that contrasts with the march of blaugrana team in the Champions, where this Tuesday he certified in Ukraine his mathematical classification for the round of 16. If the situation in Europe is idyllic, in the domestic championship Koeman's team cannot afford not one more stumble after having gained five points out of the last 18 possible.
Haunted by injuries Koeman you don't have much to choose from. Get Busquets back, but the inconvenience of Sergiño Dest return to sow doubts regarding defense, where Lenglet keep being him only central available. Mingueza, who performed so well in Kiev will play for sure, it remains to be seen where.
In Osasuna casualties are also important. Those already known have been joined this week by Adrian, with an injury to the calf, and that of David Garcia, quarantined for contact with a positive for coronavirus.
