Osasuna will test their unbeatability at home against the powerful FC Barcelona this Saturday (9 p.m.) in a Sadar where they have accumulated three victories and a draw, making it the best venue in the competition.
Vicente Moreno’s rojillos They face this match with the loss of Jon Moncayola who started the last match played against Valencia (0-0) this Tuesday at the Mestalla stadium.
The German Blaugrana Hansi Film They have one less day of recovery than the rojillos, since they played this Wednesday against Getafe, whom they beat by the minimum (1-0) at the Montjuic stadium. Barcelona have not lost in Pamplona since February 11, 2012 (3-2). Since then, there have been three draws and five Catalan victories.
The Pamplona stadium will live the first big evening of the season with the visit of the current leader of the competition, who has won the seven matches played. The hope of beating one of the greatest is always in the minds of the Red supporters who help to push the team forward when things get complicated.
After the draw in Valencia with which the bad streak at home was interruptedOsasuna returns to El Sadar. The draw against Leganés on the first day and the three consecutive victories against Mallorca, Celta and Las Palmas have brought mystery back to a field that is always complicated for the teams that visit it.
Regarding the challenge of adding something positive against the Catalans, Moreno assures that his emphasis does not depend on the team in front of him: “We are motivated to play against any rival, but you cannot imagine that this type of rival could generate something special in the players. “We need to see this as an opportunity.”
“We clearly know where they can harm you and we will try to reduce these possibilities. You have to be good and not have your best day. “We can’t concentrate everything on one player,” he continued about the Catalan team.
Even if he has not reached the desired level of play, the results accompany to those of Vicente Moreno to be able to establish the new chapter of red history. Confidence in the Valencian coach means adding points.
We are expecting the entry of important players who have been resting at Mestalla. Bryan Zaragoza, Rubén García, Catena and Budimir will enter the eleven. The question is whether the rest of the incumbent theorists will renew, this being possible due to the distance of the next appointment. Moncayola is absent due to the overload suffered against Valencia. Me Gómez or Pablo Ibáñez will occupy their position.
