🔈 Can the team from Vigo extend their unbeaten streak at "El Sadar"? One of the highlights of La Liga's Matchday 10 is the clash between Osasuna and Celta in Pamplona. Both sides are desperately trying to solidify their positions in the league table and create some distance from the relegation zone. It's worth noting that Claudio Giráldez's squad had to play a European match midweek. We'll soon find out if this affects the players' physical condition. Bookmakers slightly favor the "Reds".
Head-to-Head
📊 Celta traditionally struggle to secure the desired result in Pamplona. In their last seven visits to El Sadar, the Vigo side have celebrated victory only once. Last season, the teams exchanged home wins: in the first round of the league, Osasuna emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline, while in the second, Celta settled the score with a 1-0 win. Let's note the average scoring rate for each side over their last 10 head-to-head encounters: the "Reds" average 1 goal per game, while the "Sky Blues" notch up 1.1.
Head-to-head statistics Osasuna - Celta

Osasuna Team Overview
🔴 The team from Pamplona continues to show highly inconsistent results. However, there's a logical explanation for this - a young head coach with fresh ideas. Currently, the "Reds" have accumulated 10 points, placing them in 13th position in the league standings. One cannot ignore their disappointing scoring stats - averaging about 0.78 goals per match (18th in the league). Yet, defensively, the club performs solidly, conceding around 1 goal per game (2nd best in the league). "El Sadar" remains a fortress for Alessio Lisci's squad - they have yet to suffer a defeat at home this season, with 3 wins and 1 draw.
📌 Last weekend presented a significant challenge for Alessio Lisci and his team - an away trip to the "Wanda Metropolitano" to face local side Atletico (0-1). Despite deserving to find the back of the net at least once, as evidenced by an expected goals figure of 1.14, Osasuna couldn't secure any points. The "Rojiblancos" controlled the match and outperformed in most aspects of play. As a result, Thiago Almada's solitary strike was enough to hand the "Reds" another defeat. Alessio Lisci favors a formation with three central defenders and high midfield density. This narrow setup helps eliminate free spaces.

Celta de Vigo Team Overview
🔵 The club from Vigo are still winless in the national championship, recording seven draws and two losses. Interestingly, every time Celta ended in a draw, the final score was 1-1. Currently, the "Celts" sit in 18th place in the league standings with just 7 points. Their scoring statistics are particularly disappointing, averaging only 0.89 goals per game (17th in the league). In 12 matches across all competitions this season, Celta have only failed to score once-during the opening round of La Liga against Getafe (0-2).
📌 Midweek, Celta managed to lift their spirits with a positive result in the Europa League, defeating Nice (2-1). At times, the "Celts" showcased glimpses of their form from last season, maintaining a high pressing line and consistently creating threats from the flanks. Over the 90 minutes, the Spanish club fired an impressive 25 shots towards the "Gymnasts'" goal. In comparison, Nice managed just 9 shots. The possession statistics also reflect a solid territorial advantage for the "Sky Blues": 65% to 35%.

Latest news
Osasuna
🎤 Alessio Lisci commented on his team's away defeat to Atletico (0-1) in the last round: "The team put in a lot of effort, and the feeling is different from what it was in Seville, but we still haven't won on the road, and that obviously needs to change. Feelings don't linger. They started better than us, managed to take the lead, but it's true that after conceding the goal, which was only the beginning, we grew, adapted, and achieved more in the match. In the second half, everything we talked about at halftime came to fruition, and we felt very comfortable."
📰 Recently, Osasuna's management extended the contract of one of the most talented players from their academy, Asier Osambela. The new agreement for the 21-year-old Spanish midfielder now runs until the end of the 2028/29 season. The player shared his emotions about this event: "I'm very happy, it's a great pride. It's something I've always wanted, and the opportunity to stay here at the club for a few more years is a source of pride for me, for all my friends, my family... So I'm very happy. I've been fortunate to be part of the club from a young age, and now you look back and appreciate the work that had to be done over the years. It's a huge joy to be able to fulfill this dream, which I've dreamed of since childhood and am very happy about."
❌ Among Osasuna's unavailable players are Aimar Oroz (leg injury), Valentin Rosier (hamstring injury), and Juan Cruz (muscle injury).
Celta de Vigo
📰 The recent European match was a historic moment for Iago Aspas, as he made his 534th appearance in the Celta shirt. The Spanish forward broke Manolo's long-standing record that had endured for four decades. Moreover, in this milestone clash, the 38-year-old managed to find the back of the net. After the match, Aspas shared his emotions: "I am very happy. I was in the center of the pitch, holding back tears with my family. My parents were also in the stands, along with my brothers. It's a source of pride for my family. The best thing I could imagine is having played 534 matches, many of which ended with me being carried off the field on the shoulders of fans. Even in my wildest dreams, I never envisioned such a great reward. I'm very pleased; from my first touch, the game went in the right direction. We know that European opponents are very physically strong, powerful teams. This French team recently played in the Champions League. They were good opponents, and playing against ten men was a bit tougher because they fell back into defense. They have very physically robust players, but we withstood their pressure. We had to work hard with the ball in the final third, and we were rewarded with Borja's goal."
❌ Among Celta's unavailable players for the upcoming match are Javier Rueda (hip injury), Williot Swedberg (ankle injury), and Carl Starfelt (suspension). The participation of Yoel Lago and Jonas El Abdellaoui remains uncertain.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Both clubs have shown commendable discipline this season, receiving few cautions: Osasuna average 2, while Celta sit at 1.9. In their head-to-head encounters, there are approximately 3.7 yellow cards per game. In the last 5 meetings, there were no more than 4 significant fouls leading to referee sanctions. Our pick is total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽ Goal Prediction
It's crucial to note the clubs' lackluster scoring form this season: Osasuna average 0.8 goals, Celta 0.9. Alessio Lisci's approach at Osasuna is characterized by caution and a strong defensive setup. In 4 of their last 5 matches, no more than 2 goals were scored. We suggest the following bet - total goals under 2.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Osasuna are among the league's strugglers in terms of average corners earned per match, with about 2.1 per game. Celta, on the other hand, manage approximately 5.6 corners per match. The tactical approaches of the teams suggest that the visitors might dominate territorially. Our editorial choice is Celta's individual total corners over 4.5.
Editor's Prediction
Don't expect a thrilling game filled with goals in the upcoming match. The head-to-head stats and the current form of both teams don't suggest otherwise. Both the Reds and the Celts are in dire need of points and are unlikely to risk losing them for the sake of entertaining football. It's quite possible that a single decisive strike could determine the outcome of this encounter. We predict a final score of 1-0, with our key pick being under 2.5 goals total.
