Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Predictions

• Celta Vigo are winless in their last three matches, including two draws
• Osasuna have lost only one of their last six away league matches
• Osasuna have drawn three of their last six matches overall

Tight tussle in store

With just two points separating the sides and both showing similar recent form, Friday’s clash at Balaidos has all the ingredients of a tight mid‑table tussle.

Celta come into the game in strong shape, with three wins, two draws and one defeat in their last six outings. Their home form is particularly impressive: three consecutive victories, averaging 3.0 goals scored and just 0.67 conceded.

Even without dominating possession, Claudio Giraldez’s side have been efficient and dangerous, producing 10 shots per match at Balaídos, with 5.67 on target.

Celta set to miss injured Lopez

Osasuna also arrive in decent form, having lost just once in their last six away games, but turning draws into wins has been a problem. Both sides have notable absences — Oscar Mingueza and Fer Lopez are out for Celta while Javi Galan and Iker Benito are missing for Osasuna.

With two evenly matched teams and a long trend of close scorelines, this looks set to be another cagey contest.

Take a chance on this finishing in a 1-1 draw, with few clear chances and both sides cancelling each other out.
