Osasuna (LDWWW) will host Celta Vigo (DDLDW) in round 36 of the Spanish La Liga Santander at the Estadio El Sadar in Pamplona on Saturday, July 11, 2020.

Osasuna is coming into this game in the 11th position with 45 points. With their La Liga status assured, Osasuna’s 3-0 defeat to Real Betis in their last time out was their first loss in five matches. Osasuna has recorded 11 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses. In their previous game, Guido Rodriguez netted an early opener for Betis, followed by Alfonso Pedraza’s 25th-minute goal to double Real Betis’ lead. Finally, Cales Aleva scored the last goal for Real Betis in the 97th minute to record a 3-0 win for Real Betis. Osasuna recorded 43% ball possession and 8 goal attempts. Overall, Osasuna has recorded 40 goals, 50 conceded goals, 429 shots, 136 shots on-target, 11 clean sheets, 106 yellow cards, and 6 red card bookings.

A key player starting for Osasuna is Aridane Hernandez. Aridane has picked up yellow cards in each of Osasuna’s last two league games, while all three of his goals came after the 40th minute. On offense, Osasuna will be led by Adrian. The Spanish forward has not completed a single match this season, and never put more than one shot on goal. Additionally, his only goal this season has come from the penalty spot. In front of the net for Osasuna is Sergio Herrera. Herrera has allowed 25 goals in 17 appearances, an average of 1.5 goals conceded per 90 minutes. He has also recorded 51 saves and 6 clean sheets.

On the other hand, Celta Vigo’s 1-1 draw with Atlético Madrid in their last time out was their fourth La Liga game without a win and their fourth consecutive match in which both teams scored. Furthermore, none of their last six league fixtures have featured a 0-0 HT scoreline. Celta Vigo enters the game in the 15th position with 36 points, 7 points away from the relegation zone. So far, Celta Vigo has recorded 7 wins, 15 draws and 13 losses. In their previous game, Alvaro Morata scored the first goal for Atletico Madrid in the first minute of the game. After several goal attempts, Francisco Beltran secured an equalizer for Celta Vigo in the 49th minute. Vigo recorded 50% ball possession and 9 goal attempts. Celta Vigo has recorded 34 goals and 44 goals allowed, 332 shots, out of which 131 are on-target, 11 clean sheets, 99 yellow cards and 6 red card bookings.

A key player to look out for in Celta Vigo’s lineup is Iago Aspas. Aspas has netted four La Liga goals since resumption with ten of his 13 strikes for Celta this term coming after half-time. He has recorded 13 goals, 2 assists, 67 shots, and 34 shots on-target in 34 appearances. Ivan Villar will make his second appearance for Celta Vigo in this match. The 23-year-old Spanish goalkeeper has only played for 9 minutes and has made one save.

Osasuna’s last win against Celta Vigo was in 2013, although both teams have recorded 3 draws out of 5 previous meetings. Osasuna has won only 6 out of 17 La Liga home games, which puts them in the 15th position. With just two away league wins all season, Celta Vigo has been poor travelers, and they’ve failed to score in three of their last five such games. Nevertheless, four of their five clean sheets on the road came in their last five matches.
