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
