Celta Vigo vs Osasuna prediction

THE FORECAST

Both teams start the season on equal footing with one point after a draw, and the statistics show no goals yet, indicating cautious opening matches. Celta does have somewhat more rest (5 days vs. 3 days for Osasuna) but is missing an important midfielder due to Tapia's red card and has furthermore processed considerable transfer activity early in the season which can affect team cohesion. The cool and wet weather (15-17°C, just over 13mm rainfall) is poorly suited to intensive pressing football and promotes a closed, low-scoring match in which Osasuna's compact playing style gives a slight advantage.
