Celta Vigo host Osasuna as new La Liga season begins
Celta Vigo begin the new La Liga season at home to Osasuna, a fixture that carries plenty of recent history between the two clubs. The match kicks off on 16 August as both sides look to start the campaign with a positive result.
Form guide
Celta Vigo arrive on the back of a run of WDWDW, having won three and drawn two of their last five matches without defeat. Osasuna's recent sequence reads LWWWL, also yielding three wins from their last five, though interrupted by two losses either side of that winning run.
With both teams having claimed three victories apiece across their recent matches, there is little to separate them heading into this opening fixture.
Head-to-head record
The two clubs have met five times in recent seasons, with results swinging back and forth. Osasuna won the most recent meeting 2-1 at Celta Vigo in February 2026, while Celta Vigo had earlier beaten Osasuna 3-2 away in October 2025. Celta Vigo also won 1-0 in February 2025 and 3-0 in February 2024, with Osasuna's other victory coming 3-2 in September 2024.
That pattern of alternating results suggests this opening-day meeting could again be tightly contested, with neither side holding a clear recent upper hand.
