After a nasty fungal outbreak tore up the Balaídos pitch and pushed this fixture back, CA Osasuna finally heads to Vigo. Both teams need something to shake them awake. They each slogged through goalless draws in their last games. Celta Vigo wants to set the pace infront of their fans, but Osasuna’s got that sharp counter-attack and can really threaten in the air. Honestly, expect a tense, tactical fight as both sides chase their first win of the season.

Osasuna and Celta have each won four times in their last ten matchups, so neither team holds the upper hand. Osasuna managed to stun the Balaídos crowd with a 2-1 win last time these two met, but before that, Celta grabbed all three points at El Sadar. On average, their games during this stretch saw about 2.4 goals each.
Celta Vigo team overview
Celta Vigo prepares for this one on the back of a rigid, hard-fought 0-0 away draw against Valencia. Los Celestes are experiencing a fascinating transition period.
Claudio Giráldez’s possession blueprint is clear, but the squad lacks clinical sharpness right now. Last season was remarkably stable.
They finished 6th in La Liga with 54 points. So far this season, they have earned just 1 point from their singular opening match. Switching focus to their form at the Estadio de Balaídos, the home record remains completely untested this term.
But going back to last season, they kicked off things with a brutal eight-match winless streak at the Balaídos before finally turning their fortune around. Personally, I think breaking down Osasuna's rigid setup will be an uphill battle without their usual passing rhythm.
Veteran talisman Iago Aspas is always the focal point, while new signing Ferran Jutglà is still trying to find his scoring boots. It doesn't help that a severe knee injury completely ruled out midfielder Matías Vecino, leading to an abrupt contract termination.

Osasuna team overview
Osasuna prepares for this one on the back of a hard-fought 0-0 home stalemate against newly promoted Levante. Los Rojillos are still finding their feet under new boss Luis Miguel Ramis, who is working hard to establish tactical identity early on.
Last season was a stressful roller coaster. They flirted heavily with the relegation zone before ultimately scrambling their way to a 17th-place finish with 42 points.
This term, they sit with just 1 point from their sole match. But going back to last season, their road form was a complete disaster, ending the campaign on a miserable seven-match away winless streak.
Personally, I don't see them breaking that travel curse unless they shake off this early-season attacking rust immediately. Star striker Ante Budimir remains the club's ultimate focal point, while Alejandro Catena is already anchoring the defense. Luckily, the squad heads to Vigo with zero major injury concerns.

Prediction
Both squads are starving for goals right now, but historically, this matchup practically guarantees chaotic fireworks. I honestly think those opening day stalemates were just early-season rust. Celta's explosive home streak and Osasuna’s notoriously leaky road defense point toward a complete goal-fest here. They'll trade blows all night. It'll be a wildly entertaining mess for the neutrals. Lock me in for a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Four reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game
- All the last six home games of Celta Vigo finished with three or more goals.
- Celta Vigo finished only three of their last 13 games without conceding.
- Osasuna kept a clean sheet in just one of their last 10 competitive games.
- Four of the last five meetings between Celta and Osasuna finished with over 2.5 goals.
