Osasuna Barcelona : Guardiola looking to close gap as live streams available
Barcelona will be looking to close the gap on La Liga leaders Real Madrid to four points on Saturday evening when they face Osasuna as viewers can watch all the action unfold live streaming online.
With Madrid not playing until Sunday, Pep Guardiola’s men have an excellent chance to put the pressure on their rivals and will be focused on getting three points to aid their title challenge.
This will be a difficult challenge for the reigning Champions though. Their away form hasn’t been quite as convincing as usual this season – they have only won four of their ten La Liga games on the road – and Osasuna are a more than capable side on home soil.

The visitors will be boosted by booking their place in the Copa del Rey final during the week though and will hope to follow this up with a valuable league win. Their last two games away from home have ended all square too, so they would like to display their ruthless streak on Saturday evening.
As for Osasuna, as mentioned they are a capable side at home – they have only lost twice in the league at Reyno de Navarra this season, conceding nine goals – but their recent form in general has been horrific.
José Luis Mendilibar’s men have failed to register a victory in 2012, losing four of their eight games across all competitions. The goals have dried up too with only three goals in 2012 so far.
They have also suffered a really tough time of it against Barcelona already this season. Earlier in the campaign they were hammered 8-0 at the Nou Camp, while they lost out 6-1 on aggregate in the Copa del Rey quarter-final.
The most recent of these meetings last month saw Osasuna throw away a 1-0 lead in front of their home fans, with Barcelona coming back in the second-half to win 2-1. The home side will hope that they can hold onto a lead if they manage to give themselves the advantage on Saturday.
The stats don’t favour such an occurrence though as Barcelona are unbeaten in their last five league visits to Pamplona, while Osasuna have only scored in four of the last 15 meetings with Saturday evening’s opponents.
Looking at the team news, Osasuna could have Alvaro Cejudo and Roland Lamah back in contention, while Ivorian Lamah is also set to start. For Barcelona, this game could come too soon for Sergio Busquets, while Thiago could start after performing well during the week.
