Osasuna will look to extend their unbeaten run in La Liga to four matches when they travel to Municipal de Balaidos to take on Celta Vigo in their Matchday 13 tie on Saturday.
Celta Vigo suffered a 3-1 defeat at Almeria last time out. They have now failed to win any of their last five league matches suffering four defeats in the run.
The run has seen them drop into 16th spot in the league standings, where they sit on 11 points, two places and one point above the relegation zone. Another defeat on Saturday could leave them in the danger zone, therefore they will be keen to return to winning ways.
Carlos Carvalhal’s side are unbeaten against Osasuna at home in their last six meetings, winning the last two. They will look to draw confidence from that as they look to get their campaign back on track.
Osasuna, claimed a 2-0 home win over Valladolid last time out, making it three unbeaten fixtures in the league on the bounce.
They have been punching above their weight this season, and currently sit seventh in the league standings on 20 points from 12 games, three points outside the Champions League places.
A win therefore on Saturday could leave them inside the top four, something they will be pushing for this season. Therefore, we expect Jagoba Arrasate’s side to head into the fixture all guns blazing and they should fancy their chances following their hosts’ recent poor form.
