Celta Vigo take on Osasuna at the Balaidos Stadium this Thursday in a La Liga clash.
Celta Vigo and Osasuna are currently separated by one spot in the La Liga table after a single match, with Celta in 11th and Osasuna in 12th.
Thanks for the submission!
So can either of these sides pick up a win in their second match of the campaign?
Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Recent results between these sides have been mixed, with three wins for Celta Vigo and three for Osasuna. Osasuna won 1-2 on their last visit to the Balaidos, and have won three of their last six visits there in total dating back to 2021.
- Celta Vigo played their first match of the 2026-27 season on Saturday, drawing 0-0 away at Valencia. Considering they finished in 6th place in the 2025-26 season, it wasn’t the most impressive way to begin things.
- Osasuna also drew 0-0 in their first match of the season, in this case at home to Levante. Osasuna were perhaps happier with an opening day point than Celta Vigo, as they only finished one spot above relegation last season, surviving due to their head-to-head record with Mallorca.
- The reason for the curious placement of this match in the fixture list is because it was initially set to take place on the opening weekend on August 16th. However, Celta Vigo were forced to ask La Liga for a postponement due to a truly bizarre reason – an outbreak of fungal disease on their pitch that has since been cleared.
- Both of these teams will have a pretty rapid turnaround after this game to their next one. Celta Vigo are set to face off with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday afternoon, while Osasuna are due to play Getafe on Monday night.
Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Prediction
Given both of these sides drew 0-0 in their opening match, it’s quite hard to predict what will happen here, even if Celta Vigo enjoyed a far superior 2025-26 campaign.
Overall, though, despite only conceding a single shot on target against Levante at the weekend, Osasuna have not travelled well recently, failing to win in ten of their last 12 away games.
Given Celta also failed to score in their first match, it’s hard to see this one being a goal-fest – but the prediction is a home win.
Prediction: Celta Vigo 1-0 Osasuna
