- Celta are the in-form side with two wins and three draws from their last five.
- Osasuna are out of form with two defeats in their last two.
- Celta have conceded just 1.20 goals per game at home in all competitions.
Celta can play some football
Claudio Giraldez has got Celta de Vigo playing some well-structured, flowing football since taking the reigns and they arrive as the slight favourites for Sunday's LaLiga 2026-2027 clash at Abanca Balaidos. Celta are 2.0, while Osasuna are 3.7 and the draw is 3.35.
Celta have won two and drawn three of their last five and they have hit a good rhythm over that spell. The most recent three results were a 2-2 draw with Academico Viseu, a 4-1 win away at Sassuolo and a 1-1 draw away at Napoli.
Osasuna will be tough to break down as Luis Ramis attempts to stamp a more disciplined and compact identity on the side. They can clog up the centre of the park and hurt teams on the counter or from set pieces.
Osasuna have a goal in them
That clash of styles could make for an interesting game as Celta attempt to break down Osasuna's shell by widening the game and overloading wide areas. Celta have five wins, four draws and just one defeat in their last ten across all competitions so this should be a solid display from the Galicians.
Osasuna's form is mixed to poor, with three wins and two defeats in their last five and two losses in a row. Their recent three games have been a 1-2 win at Norwich City, a 2-1 defeat at Napoli and a 2-0 loss at home to Al Ain.
The visitors will still be a threat on the break with Raul Moro a threat, having scored two goals in their last five games. Osasuna have scored seven times in five away matches across all current competitions so they have some bite.
Both teams to keep it tight
With Celta de Vigo the in-form team, the home side must be supported in the match odds but the price available on the draw is enough to avoid taking the hosts on in the main selection. These two teams have shared the spoils in their last two head-to-head meetings 1-1, so that is the pick here.
The recent history between the two sides at this venue is also a factor and with both home and away sides averaging exactly 1.0 goals across five head-to-head clashes, the game should be tight and tense. Under 2.5 goals is 1.7 and Both Teams to Score - No is 1.85.
