Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Osasuna will be looking to bounce back from a heavy 4-0 loss to Girona when they host Celta Vigo at Estadio El Sadar in La Liga round 4. The Pamplona-based outfit tend to perform much better at home, and they will be eager to capitalize on their home advantage once again. However, Osasuna will have to cope without the injured duo of Iker Muñoz and Enrique Barja, which could slightly affect their midfield dynamics.
On the other side, Celta Vigo, despite their attacking potential, have been struggling defensively. Their recent 4-3 defeat to Villarreal exposed significant frailties at the back, and even the return of Iago Aspas to the starting XI may not be enough to mask those issues. While Celta arrives without any fresh injury concerns, their defensive vulnerabilities could be their undoing. Considering Osasuna's strong home form and Celta's defensive struggles, we believe that there is a big value in betting on los Rojillos.
