After delivering a winning selection on Tuesday night, SlipsTips examines the Bet Builder market ahead of Barcelona’s clash with Osasuna in La Liga on Thursday night.
Barcelona vs Osasuna (Thursday, 20:00)
Seeking to strengthen their position at the summit of La Liga, Barcelona entertain Osasuna at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Thursday night.
This is a key fixture in the La Liga title race as it represents Barca’s game-in-hand over both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
As for Osasuna, they are looking over their shoulders at the drop zone after failing to win each of their last five league matches.
Barcelona Win
Barcelona have been in blistering form in La Liga of late, triumphing in each of their last seven matches. Prior to the international break, the Catalan giants came back from two-goals down to claim a dramatic 4-2 win away at Atletico Madrid. As such, Hansi Flick’s side will return to their temporary home in high spirits, and they should seize the initiative in the title race by overcoming Osasuna on Thursday night.
As already alluded to, the Little Reds are now without a win in five La Liga matches, losing two of their last three outings. What’s more, Vicente Moreno’s men have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 10 Spanish top flight matches, which doesn’t bode well ahead of a trip to star-studded Barcelona. On top of all that, Barcelona will be eager to get revenge on Osasuna after losing this season’s reverse fixture 4-2.
Robert Lewandowski To Score Anytime
While Barcelona are understandably too short to side with as a single, bundling up a home win with Robert Lewandowski to score anytime will bolster the odds up to a much more enticing 10/11 shot. The Polish goal-getter currently leads the La Liga goalscoring charts with 22 goals, the most recent of which arrived during the aforementioned 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid. That means Lewandowski has made the net bulge in 14 of Barca’s 19 La Liga victories this season, including six of their last seven. Thus, siding with the same formula on Thursday night looks well worthy of support at a shade under even-money (1/1) on Bet 365.
