Osasuna form and stats

The previous season, Osasuna's league stats were 11 wins, 11 draws and 16 losses, resulting in 11th place in the La Liga. In these 38 matches they scored 37 goals and let in 48. Playing at their own stadium in the previous season Osasuna delivered 7-5-7 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 23 conceded. A La Liga draw at home so far for Osasuna. Last season their home statistics were 7 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from 19 matches.

A. Budimir was the last player to score a league goal for Osasuna and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Osasuna haven't scored in 195 minutes.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Osasuna, who played 0-0 against Espanyol. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio El Sadar). Rubén García was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.0 out of 10. The defender García hit one key pass and won 5 of 8 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Real Sociedad with the scoreline 0-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Osasuna have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won five, drawn seven and lost one.

Early season league goal statistics from Osasuna's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.

Celta de Vigo form and stats

Let's have a look at how Celta de Vigo performed last season in the La Liga: They landed a 8th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 11 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 55 and conceded 57 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 8 and lost 6 with 25/27 goals scored/conceded.

Celta de Vigo might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Atletico Madrid proved too strong as Celta slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio de Balaídos. Attacker Iago Aspas got a player rating of 7.32 in the game. "Man of the match" Aspas scored one goal, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).

The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Real Betis.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Celta de Vigo playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were one Celta de Vigo win, five draws and five defeats.
