Alaves vs Celta Vigo Predictions

• Seven of Alaves’ last eight outings have seen both teams score
• Both teams have also netted in four successive Celta Vigo games
• Alaves have kept one clean sheet in their last six at home

Alaves needing points

A 3-1 victory at Real Betis last weekend could not have been more welcome for Alaves, who head into this weekend sitting just one point outside of the bottom three.

Their defence is a real worry, managing just two clean sheets across their last 18 outings, and one of them was against minnows Compostela in the Copa del Rey.

Indeed, Babazorros have seen both teams score in seven of their last eight fixtures, which shows they know where the back of the net is, as does the fact that no other side in the bottom six has netted more than their 24 goals.

Celta struggling

They take on a Celta side who are now winless in three games, conceding six goals in the process (plus a further three in a 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid, a Copa del Rey fixture that was 2-2 after 90 minutes).

The Sky Blues are particularly struggling on the road, where they have kept just one clean sheet in nine attempts, with that 1-0 success at Las Palmas also their only away league victory this season.

Six of those clashes have seen both teams score, as have their last four fixtures across all competitions.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, with 2-2 my correct score prediction.
