Celta vs Osasuna Prediction 6 February 2026
🔊 What intrigues lie in the opening match of the 23rd round of La Liga? This Friday, Spanish football fans can look forward to a clash between Celta and Osasuna at “Balaídos.” Both clubs are showing ambition this season and have set high objectives. The “Rojillos” are gradually adapting to Alessio Lisci's coaching methods and are nearing their optimal form. Bookmakers have considered advanced statistics and the home-field advantage, resulting in a twofold edge for the “Celts.”
Head-to-Head
📊 This season, the teams have already clashed in La Liga. Back in October, the "Celts" secured an away victory at "El Sadar" with a 3-2 scoreline. Let's take a look at the outcomes over their last 10 head-to-head encounters: Celta claimed 5 wins, there were 2 draws, and Osasuna emerged victorious 3 times. We'll also consider the average scoring rate during this period: 1.4 goals for Celta compared to 1 for Osasuna.
Head-to-head statistics Celta - Osasuna
Celta de Vigo Team Overview
🔴 The team from Vigo are strong contenders for European competition spots by the end of the season. Currently, the "Celestes" sit in 7th place in the league standings, having accumulated 33 points from 22 matches. They trail the top six by just a single point. Celta's average stats show 1.32 goals scored per match and 1.05 conceded. However, Claudio Giráldez's side have failed to win in their last three games across all competitions. Can they bounce back this coming Friday evening?
🔵 In the previous round of La Liga, Claudio Giráldez's protégés couldn't break through Getafe-ending in a 0-0 draw. Notably, the "Celts" struggled against Getafe's deep defensive block, with an expected goals tally of just 0.18. It's worth noting that Celta's head coach favors a counter-attacking style, with his team's strength lying in transition play. This approach makes it challenging for the "Celestes" to face teams with a purely defensive setup. Celta's top scorer in this La Liga campaign is Borja Iglesias, with 8 goals and 2 assists in 20 league appearances.
Match Results: Celta de Vigo
Osasuna Team Overview
🔴 The "Reds" have found their stride in recent matches, going unbeaten in their last three La Liga outings. This run has propelled Alessio Lisci and his squad into the top half of the standings, amassing 26 points from 22 games. However, Osasuna's performance on the road has been less than stellar, with only 5 points from 11 away fixtures (ranking them 19th in the league). Whether the team from Pamplona can secure their second away victory of the season remains to be seen.
📌 In last weekend's clash against Villarreal, Osasuna managed to earn a crucial point with a 2-2 draw. Alessio Lisci crafted an effective tactical plan that emphasized man-marking, which largely stifled the "Yellow Submarine's" key players from showcasing their full potential. The Italian tactician favors a 4-2-3-1 formation, which maximizes the strengths of his wingers and ensures fluid transitions. Osasuna's top scorer in this La Liga campaign is Ante Budimir, boasting a record of 10 goals in 21 appearances.

Latest news
Celta de Vigo
📰 As the transfer window drew to a close, Celta agreed on the transfer of Matías Vecino from Lazio in Rome. They also managed to bring in Spanish defender Álvaro Núñez from Elche. The 34-year-old Vecino even had time to give his first interview to the club's media: "I'm very happy. It's been quite a busy day, but I'm thrilled to be here and can't wait to get started. This is definitely a team that does everything very well - not just in the league, but also in the Europa League. I've always wanted to test myself outside of Italy's Serie A, but for various reasons, it never happened. When the opportunity to join Celta came up, I didn't hesitate. In terms of experience I can share - I've played in European competitions for many years. I'm here to contribute, try to blend into this wonderful atmosphere, and hopefully, things will continue at this level. First and foremost, I want to say that I'm very happy and eager to become part of Celta."
❌ The participation of new signing Álvaro Núñez in the upcoming match remains uncertain as he continues to experience physical discomfort.
Osasuna
🎤 After a 2-2 draw against Villarreal, Alessio Lisci spoke to the press: "If any team deserved the win, it was us. Osasuna dominated most of the game, especially in the first half. We played very well in the first half, and the second half started positively too. We had a chance to make it 3-1 thanks to [midfielder Jon] Moncayola. Then, between the 60th and 70th minutes, they played better and pushed us back, but we controlled the game well. We managed their play effectively and never felt overwhelmed. This is crucial in games of this caliber, against very strong players. We aim to win every game, and today we wanted the victory because of how things unfolded. But we haven't lost in our last three matches, and in January, we only lost once-a game I believe we didn't deserve to lose. The trend is positive."
❌ Among Osasuna's unavailable players are Iker Benito (knee injury), Jon Moncayola (illness), and Lucas Torro (suspension).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Let's focus on the relatively low scoring in recent head-to-head clashes between the "Celts" and the "Reds." On average, their encounters see 2.2 goals per game. This season, both teams have averaged 2.4 goals per match. Considering all these factors, we suggest a total under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The clubs rank as underdogs in the league for average corners earned per game: "Celts" with 4 and "Reds" with 3.2. Notably, no more than 10 corners have been recorded in their last 10 meetings. This trend is also evident in most of their recent matches this season. Our editorial pick is a total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Both clubs are approaching peak form, yet in this clash, it's crucial to consider the transfer activity of the Celts and the concerning away form of the Reds. Alessio Lisci has struggled to resolve Osasuna's issues on the road, with only one away victory this season. We predict a final score of 1-0, with the key bet being a Celta win.
