The 2020-21 edition of La Liga continues this weekend as 14th-placed Osasuna play host to 11th-placed Celta Vigo.
The hosts will be looking for their first win since September 12 in this game, while Celta will be hoping to rebound from their loss on Thursday night to Barcelona.
Osasuna vs Celta Vigo Head-to-Head
The last time these two sides played was in July, and Osasuna came out on top, defeating Celta Vigo 2-1 at the Estadio El Sadar. It was one of the 2019-20 campaign’s more dramatic games, with Jose Manuel Arnaiz grabbing a 91st-minute winner to break the hearts of Celta supporters.
Results in 2020-21 have been mixed for both sides. Osasuna have lost their last two games after winning their opening match, while Celta have won one game, drawn two and lost one.

Osasuna vs Celta Vigo Prediction
This one is a close match to call, as both teams appear to be on a similar level right now and will probably be fairly evenly-matched in this weekend's encounter.
Osasuna have not been in the best form but their defence is relatively solid and they should look to keep Celta’s attack quiet, most likely leading to a draw.
Prediction: Osasuna 1-1 Celta Vigo
