Honours even at the Reyno de Navarra
Berta Brau
Games between FC Barcelona and Osasuna at the Reyno de Navarra have been extraordinarily evenly balanced affairs. The 30 games they have played in Pamplona have resulted in 10 home wins, 10 away wins and 10 draws.
Although these teams could not be further apart at the moment, with Barça the runaway league leaders and Osasuna down at the bottom, historically there is nothing to pick between the two. In fact, not only are there three points at stake, but also the chance to tip the all-time balance between them.
One goal more for Osasuna
Osasuna may be floundering at the bottom right now with just 13 points from 17 games,
but Barça will feel less encouraged by the historical atavistic for games at the Reyno de Navarra.
In terms of wins and losses they have identical records, while when it comes to goals, the
Navarrans have scored 37 times as opposed to one less, 36, for Barcelona.
Evenly matched in recent encounters
If we look just at more recent matches, we find this equality is an ongoing
phenomenon. Since 2000/01, the last time Osasuna were promoted to the top flight, there have been
two wins apiece and four draws, three of which were 0-0, which all goes to show just how strong the
Navarrans can be when playing on their home turf.
Osasuna’s ten
Ten is very much the number when it comes to the history of games between Barça and Osasuna, yet
the number also crops up when we look at what has been going on under Camacho. The side has won 10
of its points this year in games in Pamplona and they have also conceded that number of goals in
games at the Reyno de Navarra.
