Barcelona has been invincible in all tournaments since December 21. For the Catalan powerhouses, this could potentially lead to an extremely successful conclusion to the season. They are showing great strength in each of the three competitions they are participating in.

In fact, under Hansi Flick's management, Barcelona is at the summit of the La Liga table. Having accumulated 57 points from 26 matches, they are one point ahead of second - placed Atletico Madrid and three points clear of the defending champions Real Madrid, who are in third place.

Barcelona is on a six - game winning streak in the league. This includes a resounding 4 - 0 win against Real Sociedad last weekend. Moreover, in La Liga this year, their defense has been rock - solid, conceding only three goals, making the team look extremely formidable.

The Catalan club will approach this match following a 1 - 0 victory over Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League round - of - 16 encounter in Portugal. With this result, Flick's team is in an advantageous position to progress to the next round.

Barcelona are level at 4-4 with Atletico Madrid ahead of the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final, meanwhile, with that contest at Wanda Metropolitano taking place on April 2.

Blaugrana are comfortably the highest goalscorers in La Liga this season, finding the back of the net on 71 occasions, with Robert Lewandowski leading the goalscoring charts, having registered 21 times.

Osasuna also have a striker enjoying an impressive campaign, with Ante Budimir netting 14 times in Spain's top flight, which is a record only bettered by Lewandowski and Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe (17).

Los Rojillos have struggled for wins of late, though, with their last success coming at the start of February; since then, Vicente Moreno's side have played five times, drawing three and suffering two defeats.

Osasuna will enter this match off the back of a 3-3 draw with Valencia, with Los Che netting late on to secure a point, and recent results have seen them drop down into 11th spot in the table.

That said, Moreno's team are only five points behind sixth-placed Real Betis, with a spot in Europe for next season not out of the question, as there are plenty of points to play for in the latter stages of the campaign.

Osasuna are looking to do a La Liga double over Barcelona, having beaten the Catalan giants 4-2 in the reverse fixture back in September, while they also have a recent away victory over the La Liga leaders, triumphing 2-1 in July 2020.

Barcelona are hopeful that Gavi will be available; the midfielder has missed his side's last two matches due to illness, but he is believed to have been close to taking on Benfica, so a return to the squad on Saturday is highly likely.

Andreas Christensen is now fit after a recent muscular problem, but it remains to be seen whether he is involved; Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal, meanwhile, remain on the sidelines with long-term knee injuries.

Pau Cubarsi was sent off against Benfica but is available for this match and should start; Ronald Araujo and Marc Casado are also expected to earn recalls, while Dani Olmo may get the nod over Gavi in the number 10 spot due to the latter's recent absence.

As for Osasuna, Aimar Oroz had to be substituted in the early stages of the second period against Valencia with a muscular problem, and the attacker, who netted twice against Los Che, is now a major doubt for this match.

Kike Barja is on standby to replace Oroz, while there could also be a change at left-back, with Juan Cruz potentially coming in for Abel Bretones.

Budimir, as mentioned, is enjoying an excellent campaign, and he is certain to feature in the final third of the field, while Ruben Garcia and Bryan Zaragoza are also likely to be named in the starting XI.

Barcelona possible starting lineup:

Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski

Osasuna possible starting lineup:

Herrera; Areso, Boyomo, Catena, Cruz; Moncayola, Torro; Ruben Garcia, Barja, Zaragoza; Budimir
