Team News
Osasuna’s squad will see the absence of Aimar Oroz and Valentin Rosier due to injuries. Juan Cruz is doubtful for the match. Ante Budimir has had limited success this season, finding the net only twice. However, Ruben Garcia and Victor Munoz are expected to contribute to the attack.
Celta Vigo faces its own challenges, as defender Carl Starfelt will miss the match due to a red card suspension. Williot Swedberg and Yoel Lago are also dealing with injury doubts. Nonetheless, Borja Iglesias, with six goals this season, is likely to retain his place in the lineup alongside Ferran Jutgla.

| Benito | Rueda |
| Gomez | D. Rodriguez |
| Moncayola | Moriba |
