Celta Vigo vs. Alaves Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Celta Vigo vs. Alaves

Celta Vigo aims to secure their second La Liga win of the season as they host newly-promoted Alaves at Balaidos on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Alaves travels to Galicia with the ambition of earning their first points on the road this season after suffering defeats in all three of their opening away matches.

Celta Vigo, after narrowly avoiding relegation last season, appointed the experienced Rafael Benitez in the hopes of improving their fortunes. However, the early stages of the 2023-24 campaign have been disappointing, with just one win, one draw, and four losses in their first six games.

They appeared poised for a much-needed boost in their recent away match against Barcelona, taking a surprising 2-0 lead with goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Anastasios Douvikas. Nevertheless, a dramatic comeback by the champions in the final 10 minutes completely changed the course of the match.

What to remember – Celta Vigo vs. Alaves

Thursday’s matchup features a team that has faced difficulties at home against an opponent that has suffered nine consecutive La Liga away losses.

Although both sides might have slim hopes of victory, recent history favors Celta Vigo, who have won their last five encounters with Alaves. Therefore, we anticipate the hosts may secure a narrow victory and claim three points in this fixture.
