Osasuna and Barcelona are eager to secure three points for very different reasons. The Navarrese require a win to stay within touching distance of those above them, with a place in European competition next season still a very realistic target.
A Barça triumph puts immense pressure on Real Madrid, who in that case would need to defeat Espanyol on Sunday to keep the title race alive.
Predictions – Osasuna v Barcelona
Barcelona 2-6 Goals Range: 4/7 (bet365)

Barça to score between two and six goals
Barça come into this one after winning away at Getafe and will be hoping to put in another solid performance in Pamplona. However, Osasuna boast one of the strongest home records in LaLiga, having amassed 32 points at the Estadio El Sadar this term. Therefore, the visitors will have their work cut out.
Hansi Flick's men are the division's top scorers by some distance, netting 87 times in their 33 outings (an average of 2.6 goals per game). They also lead the way for away goals, scoring 35 in their 16 matches at opposing venues (an average of just under 2.2 goals per game).
Although they face a tough opponent, the stats suggest that Barça will score at least two goals again on Saturday evening. This is something they've achieved in each of their last three away fixtures and also in 11 of their most recent 12 visits to Osasuna.
Prediction: Barcelona 2-6 Goals Range: 4/7 (bet365)
Explanation: This bet will land if Barcelona score more than one but fewer than seven goals during the match, regardless of the final result.
A Barça win
Osasuna haven't lost on home soil since November, but Barça have accumulated more points away from home than any other team in the league and are therefore heavy favourites.
The Catalans will be hoping to repeat the solid team display they produced at the Estadio Coliseum, where they coped admirably without the attacking talents of Lamine Yamal.
The opportunity to clinch the title this weekend is a huge incentive, so don't be surprised if Flick's side records a fifth win in six away matches.
Barcelona were in the midst of an injury crisis when they conceded four goals on their most recent visit to the Estadio El Sadar, but will take plenty of confidence from the fact that they took maximum points from four of their previous six trips to Navarre ahead of last season's shock defeat.
Prediction: Barcelona to win: 3/4 (bet365)
Explanation: This bet lands if Barcelona win.
Barça – Most Corners
Barça are expected to enjoy plenty of possession in the final third, which will likely lead to them racking up a high volume of corners.
The Blaugrana have been awarded far more corners than any other team in the Spanish top-flight, receiving 234 to date at an average of approximately 7.7 per match.
Meanwhile, Osasuna are at the polar opposite end of this scale. Alessio Lisci's men have taking the fewest corners in La Liga despite carrying a potent attacking threat, earning just 118 so far this term (an average of less than four per match).
Furthermore, the league leaders have registered more corners than their opponents in 29 of their 33 matches played, while also achieving this feat in each of the last three meetings between these two sides.
Prediction: Barcelona to be awarded most corners: 8/13 (bet365)
Explanation: This bet lands if Barcelona are awarded more corners than Osasuna during the match.
