La Liga Preview: Osasuna Aims for Rebound After Heavy Defeat, Celta Vigo’s Aggressive Attack Seeks to Halt Poor Away Form

At 23:00 on September 1st, the fourth round of the new La Liga season will see Osasuna host Celta Vigo at their home ground. Osasuna finished 11th in La Liga last season and made only minor adjustments during the summer break. In the first two rounds of the new season, Osasuna played at home, drawing 1-1 with Leganés in the opener and narrowly defeating Mallorca 1-0 in the second round. In the third round against Girona, who finished third last season, Osasuna suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat.

Regarding this match, head coach Moreno stated: “We have been self-critical after the loss. We know very well what we need to correct and what we lack. We hope to secure a victory in this round.” The team has just signed Boyomo, a defender from Valladolid, and Moreno commented: “I believe he is a very versatile player. He is still young and has many opportunities to grow.”

Overall, Osasuna’s home record has been relatively stable, achieving one win and three draws in their last four home league matches.

Celta Vigo finished 13th in La Liga last season with a record of ten wins, eleven draws, and seventeen losses. Their overall offensive and defensive statistics were similar to those of Osasuna. However, since the start of the new season, the team has won two and lost one of their first three matches, scoring eight goals and conceding six, temporarily placing them fourth in the league table.

In the first three rounds, forward Aspas scored two goals, and defender Mingueza also netted twice. In their last away game against Villarreal, they equalized in the 80th minute but unfortunately conceded a last-minute winner, losing 3-4. In their last five away La Liga matches, the team has only won once.

In the last ten encounters, Osasuna has a slight edge with four wins, three draws, and three losses. Last season, both teams won their away games when facing each other.
