Though he didn't score in the team's most recent match against Villareal, the Barcelona attack scored all three of its goals after he came on in the 58th minute.
In addition, Barcelona go into Wednesday's match knowing they beat Osasuna less than three weeks ago. In a Spanish Supercopa semifinal in Saudi Arabia on Jan. 11, Barcelona got second-half goals from Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal in a 2-0 victory. Barca dominated possession (67.9%) and outshot Osasuna 20-11. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Osasuna
Los Rojillos are playing some of their best soccer of the season. Osasuna are unbeaten in their last three La Liga matches (two wins, one draw) and have three wins, three draws and one loss in their last seven La Liga matches since the start of December. On Sunday, they rallied from a one-goal deficit to earn a draw against Sevilla.
In addition, Osasuna face a Barcelona defense that has been hemorrhaging goals at home. Barcelona have already conceded 16 goals in 11 home games this season, compared to just four goals in 19 home matches all of last season. In their last home game, Barcelona were shredded for five goals by Villareal in a 5-3 loss. See which team to pick here.
