The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Osasuna lock horns with Xavi's Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Estadio el Sadar on Sunday.


Osasuna vs Barcelona Preview

Osasuna are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side played out a 2-2 draw against Club Brugge this week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate in recent weeks. The Blaugrana edged Villarreal to an exhilarating 4-3 victory in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
