For Celta Vigo vs Osasuna prediction, we say both teams will score at least one goal each and this is why. Celta Vigo may have kept four clean sheets in their last five friendly matches, but they are likely to concede against Osasuna, who scored in each of their six friendly matches.
We predict Osasuna to score at least one goal in the first half against Celta Vigo and this is why. It’s obviously a stretch to back the visitors to get a goal in the first half but the last time they visited Celta Vigo, they scored twice in the first half as they won 2-1. I’ve backed them to repeat the same, but this time, one goal.
Celta Vigo had a superb pre-season, having won four of their five friendlies including their 5-0 thumping over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr last month. However, they face a difficult test in their first 2023/2024 LaLiga game against Osasuna and will look to ensure they don’t repeat last season’s form against them, having lost 2-1 at home and played goalless in Osasuna.
Osasuna didn’t do bad in their pre-season after they won four and lost two of their six friendly matches. They were dominant over Celta Vigo last term, securing four out of possible six points. However, they will look to maintain their form against Celta and start their new season on a high.
Predicted starting lineups
Celta Vigo: Carrillo, Aidoo, Aspas, Bamba, Dotor, Fontan, Paciencia, Perez, Sanchez, Tapia, Vazquez
Osasuna: Fernandez, Pena, Garcia, Herrando, Mojica, Gomez, Martinez, Munoz, Ibanez, Garcia, Budimir
