Barcelona have been prolific in front of goal this season, averaging 4.0 goals per game – second only to Celta Vigo for the highest goal tally in La Liga.

Both teams have scored in five of their seven league games so far, including four out of four away fixtures.

Osasuna managed to score in all four of their home games at the El Sadar Stadium this season, making them capable of contributing to the scoreline against a Barcelona side that have shown defensive vulnerabilities.

Both teams to score has landed in three of their four home games this campaign.

Last season, this head-to-head fixture finished 2-1 to Barcelona, as Lewandowski netted an 86th-minute penalty to secure the three points.

Robert Lewandowski looks much more assured under the management of Hansi Flick, playing in a system that fully caters to his goalscoring exploits.

He has accrued the most shots for Barcelona this season, averaging 4.0 shots per game which is the most of any player in the squad.

The Poland international has managed at least two shots on target in six out of seven games this campaign, only failing against Rayo Vallecano in a tough away match.

Last time he faced Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium, Lewandowski managed three shots in total, with two on target. He also scored the winning goal, so will have fond memories of this matchup.

Aimoz Oroz has managed the second-most shots for Osasuna this season, registering 11 from his seven starts. Interestingly, all 11 shots have come when playing at home – he has zero shots in three away games this campaign.

He is highly versatile, typically operating in an advanced midfield role. In the previous game against Valencia, he featured on the left-wing.

Oroz fancies his chances from distance, with eight of his 11 shots coming from outside the box. That is useful here against Barcelona, where clear cut chances might be less common.

Oroz managed one shot when he faced Barcelona at the El Sadar Stadium last season

Given that Aimar Oroz will be the likely candidate to take free kicks, he looks a good shout for at least one shot.

Marc Casado has operated as a defensive midfielder under Hansi Flick, and has registered a foul in all four of his starts so far this season.

Most recently, he made one foul against Getafe out of just four fouls made in total by Barcelona. He also accounted for one infringement against Girona, and made two fouls against Valladolid in a 7-0 victory.

In addition to that, he is also averaging 2.73 tackles per 90 this season, one of the highest totals in the squad, which highlights his willingness to duel in midfield.

Midfielders Aimar Oroz and Lucas Torro have drawn the most fouls for Osasuna this term, and should now occupy a similar midfield zone of the field as Casado – an ideal matchup bodes well for this selection.

Lamine Yamal has registered a goal or assist in six out of seven La Liga games so far under Hansi Flick.

Only Robert Lewandowski has registered more goal involvements in the Spanish top-flight this season, but Yamal has registered the most assists of any player (5).

He failed to score or assist in his recent game against Getafe, although went extremely close. He had three shots, with one on target, also hitting the woodwork.

Yamal has established himself as a crucial player for Hansi Flick, and has played the full 90 in each of his six league games. As Barcelona tend to bias attacks to the right, Yamal sees a lot of the ball, and constantly looks to deliver into dangerous areas in the box.

Possibly the best value price available in this game, Balde has drawn 15 fouls from five league starts this season, averaging 3.02 fouls drawn per 90.

Considering he has drawn ten fouls in his last two games, playing the full 90 in both, his price of 1.66 to draw one foul looks incredibly inflated.

Balde only failed to draw a foul in the first game of the season against Valencia. In that game, he was substituted after just 64 minutes.

In the Hansi Flick system, he is tasked with getting forward, which sees him occupy a large space and contest ample duels. Having such a large involvement in games makes this a market to target to draw fouls.

Flavien Boyomo has made a foul in all four games so far as an Osasuna player this campaign, immediately locking down a starting spot at centre back since arriving from Real Valladolid.

The 22-year-old can tend to be a bit clumsy and overly aggressive in his duels, reflected in making six fouls in four games so far, averaging 1.5 fouls per game. He has made two fouls in both home games so far.

Before arriving at his new club, he also made three fouls in three games this season for Real Valladolid, with one foul against Espanyol, and two fouls against Real Madrid.

He should contest duels with Lewandowski, who is drawing an average of 1.4 fouls per 90 this season.

Sticking with fouls, Lucas Torro has committed the most infringements for Osasuna this campaign, landing at least two fouls in six of his seven games.

In that time, he has also managed at least three fouls in five out of seven, highlighting his willingness to duel. Most recently, he made three fouls in an away game against Valencia, as he was tasked with covering a large amount of ground in transition.

Playing in a defensive midfield role, Torro is tasked with cutting out opposition attacks, which means he will be extremely busy dealing with the likes of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.

Given that Torro has made at least two fouls in each of his last four games, and in all three home games so far, this is a standout selection.
