Command Analysis
Osasuna
SpainCurrent form
Osasuna suffered a disappointing 4-0 defeat at Girona on Thursday, their first defeat of the La Liga campaign. Coach Vicente Moreno was unhappy with his side's effort on their first trip of the league season and apologised to fans for the result, but vowed to return, saying "there is no better medicine than winning the next match". A return to more familiar surroundings will be welcome as they look to beat Celta Vigo, a team they have failed to beat in their last three league encounters.
Disqualifications and injuries
Baria (knee injury), Munoz (foot injury) and Peña (muscle injury) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera had a terrible game against Girona but with two clean sheets in his last three home league games, this could be a chance for immediate redemption
- Osasuna have not won in their last three head-to-head matches and have not even managed to score
Estimated line-up : Herrera – Cateno, Areso, Catena, Cruz – Garcia, Moncayola, Torro, Gomez – Budimir.
Celta Vigo
SpainCurrent form
Celta arrived on the back of a 4-3 defeat at Villarreal on Monday, which ended their two-game winning streak this top-flight season. The result was decided by a goal in the 10th minute of injury time, but even so, manager Claudio Giraldes was pleased with the effort, hinting they need to return with their “heads held high” as they begin this round in the top three. However, the defeat is part of a wider problem, with the Celts having lost four of their last five away league games.
Disqualifications and injuries
De la Torre (ankle injury) and Ristic (calf injury) will be out.
Interesting trends for betting
- In nine of Celta's last 11 league games, including all three this season, both teams have scored
- Celta have lost four of their last five away league games
Probable line-up : Villar - Manquillo, Mingueza, Sverberg, Dominguez - Moriba, Beltran, Jailson, Rodriguez - Aspas, Iglesias.

1.78Tip and bets
The teams started ambiguously, but that is their main problem - instability. Most likely, both clubs will try to find happiness at the opponent's goal, while given the weak play in defense, we should expect an abundance of dangerous moments. In addition, three goals were scored in the last face-to-face meeting, which we do not exclude today.
Our betting tip is total over 2.5 goals and we bet on it with odds of 2.10
Bet on the outcome
Today the opponents are equal in strength and motivation, but it is very difficult to give preference to anyone. The statistics of face-to-face meetings are approximately equal, and everything can be decided by one mistake, a set piece or a penalty. We are waiting for a peaceful outcome, which will suit the opponents in terms of the tournament, and can also please the fans.
Prediction: draw at 3.30
Bet on a penalty
Both clubs will likely compensate for their lack of technique through fouls and roughness, which will lead to an abundance of set pieces, including a penalty kick. In addition, penalties have been awarded in two of the last four matches.
Betting Tip - penalty (yes) for 2.85
