Osasuna vs Celta Vigo prediction: Galicians to prevail with Aspas on target
Key stats
- Our Osasuna vs Celta Vigo betting tips take into account that all of the away team’s games so far this term have seen both teams score.
- It’s just two wins in 11 league outings overall for Osasuna.
- They’ve not scored more than once in any of their last six home league fixtures.
Correct score prediction: Osasuna 1-2 Celta Vigo
Osasuna were dreadful at both ends on Thursday, managing just one attempt in their heavy loss at Montilivi. Celta meanwhile have looked good going forwards and should be fresh after the likes of Iago Aspas were rested in their last game, which was back on Monday, meaning they’ve had more time off to prepare for this.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Osasuna the slight favourites
- HOME: 13/10 (2.30) – 43.5%
- DRAW: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%

Player to watch – Iago Aspas
Even at the age of 37, Aspas is still one of the best players outside of the big three clubs in La Liga. He’s made a flying start to this season with two goals and one assist in his opening three appearances.
Aspas an early threat
Last season, 67% of the Galician’s league goals came before the break. Over half came before the 30 minute mark, making him one of the more dangerous forwards in La Liga in the opening stages of games.
