Our Predictions
Both teams are close in the standings and have similar recent form. Five of their last 14 LaLiga meetings ended in a draw. Recent head-to-head at Celta ended 1-1. The odds at 3.10 reflect this evenly-matched scenario, so a draw is a strong call.
Alaves’ defense has been tight at home, while Celta struggles for consistency away. Alaves blanked Celta in their last home match (3-0) and typically goal totals are low when these teams face off, making 'No' a good value at 1.80.
The last three head-to-head matches saw two or fewer goals in each. Both teams’ recent matches tend to be tight, making Under 2.5 goals at 1.62 a solid bet.
