Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Prediction

Celta Vigo Form

Celta Vigo delivered a bit of everything as their last three matches added four points to their tally. An encounter with Girona brought a 1-1 draw, which was followed by a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cadiz. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail, as they beat Barcelona by 2-1. In their last six La Liga home matches, Celta Vigo have two wins, while they've drawn two and lost two. They scored seven and conceded seven goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Celta Vigo might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the La Liga looks the most realistic scenario.

Osasuna Form

Six points is Osasuna have to show from their past three matches, as they beat Athletic Bilbao by 2-0. This was followed by a 2-1 defeat against Getafe, before winning 2-1 against Girona. In their last six La Liga away matches, Osasuna failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn one and lost four, scoring three while also conceding eight times.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Osasuna will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Celta Vigo get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Osasuna.
