Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Celta Vigo play host to Osasuna at their Estadio de Balaidos in the La Liga round 25 opener. Os Celeste have been producing fine displays at home of late, winning three of their last four games at “Balaidos”. Friday’s clash, though, will be anything but a walk in the park for the Galician outfit. Carlos Dominguez limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with ten-man Atletico Madrid, with Oscar Mingueza likely to step up.
Los Rojillos, meanwhile, did well to hold star-studded Real Madrid to a draw on Matchday 24, but given Celta’s fine home record in 2025, we are tempted to put our money on Claudio Giraldez’s men this time out. The good news for the away team is that Cameroon defender Flavien Boyomo is back from suspension, but both Jesus Areso and Aimar Oroz (accumulation of yellow cards) are banned for Friday’s game.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan Bamba):

After spending his youth career at CS Paris-Charenton, UJA AlfortVille and Saint-Etienne, Jonathan Bamba started playing for Saint-Etienne II at senior level. In 2015 he was given a chance to prove his worth with the first team and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 42 appearances for les Verts in Ligue 1.
Following his loan spells with Paris, Sint-Truiden and Angers, Jonathan Bamba joined Lille in the summer of 2018. The pacey winger born in Alfortville (France) on March 26, 1996, has been playing for les Dogues ever since, but he has yet to earn a cap for the French national team. Nonetheless, Jonathan Bamba has 12 caps with France U21 in which he scored four goals for les Tricolores.
Jonathan Bamba’s main position is left winger, but he is used as a centre-forward as well. The French footballer, whose preferred foot is right, has a contract with Lille until June 30, 2023.
Highlighted Team (Osasuna):

Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
Osasuna made it to the Spanish Copa del Rey final in 2005, but they eventually lost to Real Betis after extra time in the title game. The meaning of the word Osasuna is “health” in Basque and it is used in a sense of strength.
