La Liga: Osasuna vs Fc Barcelona: Team News, Preview and Predicted Match Scores:

Barcelona will attempt to break their winless streak in La Liga when they travel to Pamplona, Spain, to take on Osasuna in Week 15.

The newly promoted club sit in last place and have only won a single match so far this season. If ever there was a time for the Blaugrana to end their stretch of three straight matches without a win, Saturday is it.
   

Osasuna is currently on a four-game losing streak to remain in the bottom of the 20-team Spanish top flight table. They are one point below 19th-place squad Granada after 14 rounds of matches.
In their most recent game on Sunday, Los Rojillos were romped by fellow bottom three squad Sporting Gijon, 1-3, on the road at the El Molinon Stadium, as per ESPN.

Sporting scored the first three goals of the contest, courtesy of a brace from Spanish midfielder Carlos Carmona in the 43rd and 78th minutes and one from Brazilian defender Douglas in the 56th, before Osasuna captain Miguel Flaño was able to net a consolation goal in the 86th.

It was the ninth loss of the season for head coach Joaquín Caparrós' side, who was promoted from the Segunda Division last season via playoffs.

Meanwhile, defending champions Barcelona settled to a 1-1 draw with arch-rivals and current league leaders Real Madrid in an El Clásico at their home field of Camp Nou last Saturday, SkySports reported.

Barcelona rested a number of stars in the routine 4-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach in the UEFA Champions League, and with that competition now finished until the new year, most of those top players are expected to return to the squad.



Jeremy Mathieu has been sidelined since the end of November, and in all likelihood, he won't be rushed back anytime soon.

Per the club's official website, manager Luis Enrique invited nine Barcelona B players to train with the first-team squad, so there may be some youngsters involved on Saturday.
Neymar picked up a booking in the Clasico against Real Madrid and will be suspended.

Osasuna have been without long-term absentees Javi Flano and Didier Digard for some time now, but they avoided picking up any suspensions in the 3-1 loss against Sporting Gijon and are expected to field their strongest possible starting XI.


Potential Barcelona XI: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Arda Turan, Luis Suarez

Potential Osasuna XI: Nauzet, Oier, Miguel Flano, Ivan Marquez, Carlos Clerc, Roberto Torres, Goran Causic, Imanol Garcia, Miguel de las Cuevas, Oriol Riera, Kenan Kodro
