On Sunday afternoon, Osasuna and Celta Vigo clash at El Sadar as the visitors look to move further clear of La Liga’s relegation zone.
Osasuna just can’t find consistencyThe team from Pamplona have struggled to find any consistency in recent months in La Liga, as they have won just two of their last five matches in the Spanish top flight. Last time out, they suffered a 1-0 defeat at reigning La Liga champions Barcelona.
The home team’s recent inconsistency has left them stranded in 11th place in the Spanish top-flight table. They are ten points clear of the relegation zone and ten points adrift of the European spots.
Osasuna have performed well in front of their own fans, as they are unbeaten in their last five La Liga games while recording three straight home wins.
Their recent home games in the Spanish top flight have mainly been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five matches.
Celta Vigo is dangerously positioned in the tableThe Galicians currently sit in 17th place in La Liga, just a point outside the league’s bottom three.
Celta’s recent form has not helped their chances of moving clear of danger, as they have suffered back-to-back home defeats against Real Sociedad and Girona, as well as losing three of their last five outing in La Liga.
Their recent matches in the Spanish top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine outings in La Liga.
Rafa Benitez’s team has experienced plenty of away days blues of late, as they have failed to win in eight Liga games on their travels, losing five times and claiming just three draws.
Their recent away games in La Liga have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four games.
What am I backing?Osasuna have not been consistent in general of late in La Liga. However, they have been good on home soil in recent months, which, paired with Celta's underwhelming away record, leads me to back the home win.
