Celta Vigo roll into this opening-day La Liga clash at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos with a spring in their step. A 2-2 draw against Académico de Viseu in a recent friendly might not scream title contenders, but it shows goals, intent, and a side that doesn't know how to sit back. They're at home, in front of their own fans, and that Balaídos atmosphere is a genuine twelfth man. Celta are a solid mid-table side with attacking quality threaded through the midfield — they'll feel this is the perfect chance to stamp their authority on the new season.

Osasuna, meanwhile, arrive with a worrying 0-2 friendly defeat to Al Ain on their recent record. That's a result that stings, even in pre-season. It suggests a team still finding its rhythm, still shaking off the rust. They'll be organised — they always are under their current setup — but there's a lack of sharpness there. On the road, at a ground where Celta are notoriously tough to break down, that's a dangerous combination. Momentum is sky-blue here, and we love that.
