Celta Vigo vs Alaves Predictions


Both of these sides are in dire form. Alaves have shown some good signs and have enough to leave Vigo with a draw. I’m backing a low-scoring match with a 0-0 draw quite possible.

Head to Head


Celta Vigo hold a 14-11 advantage over Alaves across 34 previous meetings with nine draws.

The teams last met in May 2022 as Celta Vigo won 4-0 at home.

Celta Vigo Form & Team News


Having finished 13th last season, Celta are 18th in La Liga after six matches under Rafa Benitez.

A 1-0 home loss to Real Madrid in round three saw an 81st minute goal leaked. They won 3-2 at Almeria after that as they netted an 87th minute equaliser.

Their last two matches have ended in defeats: 1-0 to Mallorca (H) and 3-2 at Barcelona. They led 2-0 after 80 minutes vs Barca before conceding three times in nine minutes.

Rafa Benitez is without left winger Franco Cervi due to injury. The coach is set to continue with a 5-3-2 formation.

Anastasios Douvikas is set to remain on the bench despite netting against Barcelona. Iago Aspas and Jorgen Strand Larsen will lead the line.

Celta Vigo Predicted Lineup


Villar; Mingueza, Nunez, Starfelt, Dominguez, Ristic; Bamba, Beltran, De La Torre; Aspas, Larsen.

Alaves Form & Team News


Deportivo Alaves since 14th in the La Liga table after their promotion to the Segunda Division. They have two wins and four losses this season so far.

A famous 4-3 home win over Sevilla in Round 2 preceded a 1-0 defeat a Getafe. A 1-0 home win over Valencia came next despite just 39% possession as they missed all three of their ‘big chances’.

They’ve lost their last two matches by 2-0 scorelines, firstly allowing 20 shots in defeat at Rayo Vallecano. On Friday, they missed four ‘big chances’ in a loss at home to Athletic Bilbao.

Young striker Giuliano Simeone is absent with a long-term ankle injury. Coach Luis Garcia make be tempted to start Spain under 21 striker Samu Omorodion. 

Captain Ruben Duarte is a slight doubt at left back. Javi Lopez is on standby to deputise.

Alaves Predicted Lineup


Sivera; Gorosabel, Abqar, Sedlar, Duarte; Guridi, Guevara; Sola, Hagi, Rioja; Omorodion.

Verdict

I'm backing this match to have very few goals, Under 1.5 is my top tip. I think a draw is on the cards and a 0-0 scoreline looks like excellent value.
