Alaves vs Celta Vigo predictions for this Liga Santander clash on Saturday at Mendizorroza Stadium. Alaves, who have been among the best in the league in the last few matches, host a Celta Vigo side on a run of three draws in a row. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Alaves
Alaves are undoubtedly one of the most in-form teams in La Liga Santander; the Basque side came close to winning on a pitch as difficult as Sevilla’s, but in the closing minutes of the game Alaves conceded the equaliser. The match ended 2-2.
Having conceded only four goals in the last five games, Alaves have gone from being one of the teams that have conceded the most goals, to a goal average in line with their position.
Alaves have conceded 11 goals in their last three meetings with Celta.
Celta Vigo
Celta are still struggling to get things moving, and are unable to climb up the standings. They are on a run of three draws in a row, although it must be said that the draws have come against good teams – Rayo Vallecano, FC Barcelona and Villarreal.
Of Celta’s 13 total points, eight of them have come from away games, showing that they are a capable away team.
Finding Iago Aspas’ best will be the key to Celta’s improvement, because Iago is undoubtedly one of the best players in the competition, but this season has not started very well for him.
Alaves are in very good form, and they are playing at home which should help their chances. Nevertheless, despite Celta sitting in the lower part of the table, they are not playing badly, and they actually have a better squad than Alaves. Therefore, we think it will be an even match and a draw is a likely result.
