Early relegation battle looms as Celta host Osasuna
Both sides look to ignite their seasons at Estadio Balaídos after opening with stalemate results.
Celta Vigo enter this fixture in 12th place with one point, technically sitting inside the early relegation zone with 37 games left to secure their top-flight status. Claudio Giráldez’s men started their campaign with a disciplined but quiet 0-0 draw away at Valencia. Giráldez has a balanced record against Osasuna, having recorded two wins and two defeats in his four previous encounters with the club.
Osasuna sit 11th on one point, just two points off the European places at this embryonic stage of the season. They also come into this match following a 0-0 draw, having failed to break down Levante at home. The visitors will be relying on the tactical setup of their management to overcome the difficulties of playing away from home, where they have historically struggled to dominate possession.
