Prediction published on 02/02/2024, 10:15  by Nella Wagah in LaLiga Predictions

Celta Vigo have a tough task on their hands as they travel to Osasuna, seeking to turn their La Liga tide. Heading to this clash, the hosts sit 12th while a tough run in the season leaves Celta Vigo 17th. Osasuna are looking to better their seventh-place finish last season as Celta Vigo seek to beat the drop. After a 1-0 loss to champions Barcelona, Osasuna are will be looking to bounce back here. The lone goal was scored by Vitor Roque in the 63rd minute negating the brave fight Osasuna had put up. It got worse for Gorritxoak Los Rojillos as four minutes later, Unai Garcia was sent off, leaving Osasuna to fight with 10 men. Osasuna will however be delighted to return home, having won their last three league games there. They have also enjoyed a good recent run against Celta Vigo, winning two of their last three meetings.

Celta Vigo are having a season to forget as they perilously hover above the relegation zone. The move to hire the experienced Rafa Benitez months back hasn’t really paid off and hopes of a 13th straight season in La Liga look bleak. The Sky Blues are just one point above the danger zone and a loss here could see them drop into red zone. Their recent form is a highlight of their struggles having lost each of their last three games. The run has seen them getting knocked out of the Copa del Rey at the hands of Real Sociedad. Most recently they suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of surprise league leaders Girona. Cristian Portu scored early in the game and Girona valiantly defended their slim lead to deny Celta Vigo. The last time Celta Vigo won away from home in. La Liga was against bottom placed Almeria. That also happens to be their only win in 16 away league games.
