Venue (City, Stadium) | Vigo, Estadio Abanca-Balaídos |
Two sides still chasing a first win of the season meet at Balaídos, in a fixture that was pushed back from Matchday 1 due to turf work on the pitch.
Celta Vigo opened with a goalless draw away to Valencia. It follows a strong 25/26 campaign that saw them finish in the Europa League places, and they are favourites here.
Osasuna were also held to a nil-nil, at home to Levante, and arrive short of confidence. A poor end to last term nearly saw them relegated, and form has yet to turn.
The head-to-head is level at three wins each across the last six meetings, and Osasuna won the reverse fixture 2-1 back in February.
Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Form
Celta sit 11th in the early table and opened with that stalemate at Valencia. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in their last three LaLiga games, a sign of tight, low-scoring outings. They control games through possession and short passing, with Ferran Jutglà leading the line and Williot Swedberg the creative threat.
Osasuna are 12th and yet to click, held nil-nil at home to Levante on the opening weekend. They have failed to win their last six matches in LaLiga, a stubborn run that stretches back into last season. Ante Budimir remains their key man up top, well supported by wide deliveries and aerial threat.

Injuries & Suspensions
Celta Vigo: Borja Iglesias (Injured/out)
Osasuna: Valentin Rosier (Injured/out)
Celta Vigo
Celta have one fresh concern, with Borja Iglesias picking up an injury this week that rules him out. It is not thought to be serious, and he is expected back in early September. Otherwise Claudio Giráldez has a settled group to pick from.
Osasuna
Osasuna carry just one injury worry into this one. Valentin Rosier remains out injured and unavailable, though he should not be too far away from a return. Beyond that, the visitors have a clean bill of health to work with.
