Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | LaLiga 2026-27
Neither of the last five games between these clubs ended in a draw!
Celta Vigo are all set to lock horns with Osasuna for the matchweek 2 fixture of the LaLiga 2026-27 season. This will be an interesting outing, which is scheduled to take place at the Estadio de Balaídos.
Claudio Giráldez’s men were held to a goalless draw by Valencia in their opening game of the new season. After that fixture, they know what changes are required to secure three important points. Os Celestes were decent enough in the midfield and defence, but their performance in the final third was not good enough.
Celta Vigo at home will look to address these mistakes and develop a better approach.
The Luis Miguel Ramis-led side also secured one point in their opening game of the LaLiga 2026-27 campaign. They were also held to a goalless draw, but by Levante. Los Rojillos looked quite alive in the attacking front, but lacked control of the game.
Being away from home is going to make the upcoming fixture a bit tougher for them, but with the right tactics, CA Osasuna might have a chance out there.

Players to Watch
Sergio Carreira (Celta Vigo)
Sergio Carreira is once again going to be deployed on the right flank. He can control the midfield well and can also help his side on the attacking front. The 25-year-old Spaniard came up with impressive passes in the previous outing and will be eager to do it once again for Celta Vigo.
Ante Budimir (Osasuna)
The 35-year-old will be a crucial aspect in the final third for CA Osasuna. Even though he failed to score a goal in the previous outing, Ante Budimir’s presence was quite noticeable. He took four shots, of which two were on target. Budimir will be looking to step up his game and deliver a top performance.
