Celta Vigo vs Osasuna Prediction

There have been 73 goals in Celta Vigo’s 24 matches so far this season. Their form has declined as the season has gone on as they hover in the bottom-half of the table, most recently sharing a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano in the capital city last weekend. They now face an Osasuna side that held Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw last weekend as they push for a top seven or eight finish and potential UEFA Europa Conference League qualification. They are an entertaining side to watch with some exciting attackers such as Bryan Zaragoza and Ante Budimir. Both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one at Balaidos.
