Alaves vs Celta Vigo Preview

  • Tournament – La Liga
  • Date – Saturday, April 27, 2024
  • Kick-off Time – 04:30 pm GMT
  • Venue – Mendizorroza Stadium

Deportivo Alaves will host Celta Vigo in a bottom-half clash in La Liga on Saturday.

Both teams have struggled this season and still have work to do in the remaining six games to be safe from relegation. Alaves are in a much better position as they sit 14th, 10 points above the relegation zone.

They have nine wins, eight draws, and 15 defeats in the league this season. Another win will pretty much guarantee their safety for another season.

Celta Vigo, meanwhile, are 17th, six points above the relegation zone. They have seven wins, 10 draws and 15 defeats in La Liga this season. While Celta have created some gap between themselves and the relegation zone, they cannot avoid any slip-ups in their remaining games.

Alaves have won two of their last five games. They beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 at home in a huge win after a run of three straight defeats. Hence, they will be brimming with confidence heading into the clash.

Celta Vigo, meanwhile, also registered a big win in their last game, beating Las Palmas 4-1 at home. They have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five games.

Celta have been a comparatively better form but there’s not much in it. They might find it hard to beat Alaves away from home.
