Alaves vs Celta Vigo prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-21 13:00.
[p]An inconsistent Alavés return to La Liga action when they host Celta Vigo, who are aiming to bounce back from a chaotic defeat last time out. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Alavés return to La Liga action having seen each of their 12 league games this season produce a different result than the previous. Despite a 1-0 defeat away at Girona last time out, this marks their best start to a top-flight season after 12 rounds since 2018/19 and has them sat just inside the top half heading into the weekend. Eduardo Coudet’s men appear primed to bounce back here as they’ve lost just one of their last ten home league matches (W5, D4), with 11 of their 15 points this season accrued on their own turf.[/p]
[p]Celta Vigo saw an eight-match unbeaten run come to an end just before the international break when they went down 4-2 to Barcelona. They’ll be looking to continue climbing the table and move away from the drop zone here and can take heart from going unbeaten in their last two away league games against Basque opposition as well as earning eight of their 13 points so far on the road. The Sky Blues have won their last two league trips, and could now win three on the spin for the first time since January 2018.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Celta have lost just one of the last nine H2Hs (W6, D2), but their record in away meetings isn’t as strong, with Alavés winning five of the last nine on their own turf (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Pre-round, only two sides have picked up more yellow cards than Alavés (29). [/p]
[p]Alavés have won all four games they scored first in this season.[/p]
[p]All seven of Celta’s draws this season have finished 1-1. [/p]
[p]Celta have scored 2+ goals in each of their last four away games. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Lucas Boyé’s return from suspension will be a welcome one, especially as he’s scored two goals across his last four games for AlavĂ©s – five of his last six strikes for any club came before half-time. Pablo Duran netted the equaliser in this fixture last season (1-1) and scored twice in Celta’s last away game against Dinamo Zagreb.[/p]
[p]Neither side has any fresh injury concerns coming into this one. [/p]
