LA LIGA ........

OSASUNA - BARCELONA

What to say about Barcelona ? They are in incredible shape this season and at present, they can probably play Messi and any ten others, give any side in La Liga a game and probably win. However, they have a very big lead at the top of the table, at least nine points, regardless of what happens tonight, sooner or later they will suffer a dip and /or realise that they do not need to win every game, or certainly do not need to go chasing a second or third goal when it is not necessary. I do not think they will get things their own way today, Osasuna looked doomed, just a couple of months into the season, after scoring just three goals in eleven starts. They have recently found their scoring boots and hit 15 in their last 7 starts. They are traditionally a very strong side at home and in eight h2h meetings with Barcelona this Millenium, have lost only twice, both losses coming by a single goal. This will be close in my opinion and to bet an established La Liga , inform team, o n home soil, regardless of the opponent, at +1.25 goals, is something of a no brainer for me.

6.5 points Osasuna +1.25 ball 1.88 asian line.

Back shortly.
