Our predictions for Alaves vs Celta Vigo

Match Prediction: Alaves 2-1 Celta Vigo

Alaves, coming off a mixed run with two wins and two losses in their last five games, might look to exploit their home advantage. Their recent victories against Espanyol and Elche suggest a capability to score, particularly at home, which could be crucial against a Celta Vigo side that has shown vulnerability in defence, conceding four goals in their last home game against Barcelona.

Celta Vigo, despite a loss to Barcelona, has shown resilience with two wins and two draws in their recent outings. Their ability to score in every game, even against strong opposition, indicates a potent attack that could challenge Alaves' defence. However, their away form might be a concern, due to their inconsistent record on the road this season.

Form Guide & Team Overview

Alaves

Alaves' recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins and two losses in their last four games. Their home victories against Espanyol and Elche highlight their potential to perform well at home, which could be a significant factor against Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo has shown a strong attacking presence, scoring in all of their last five games, including a high-scoring loss to Barcelona.

Lineups & Tactical Setup

Loading...

Alaves (4-4-2)

  • Predicted lineup: Sivera (GK), Otto (DF), Tenaglia (DF), Parada (DF), Enríquez (DF), Calebe (MF), Blanco (MF), Suarez (MF), Alena (MF), Diaz (AT), Martinez (AT) (If fit)

Alaves' predicted 4-4-2 formation suggests a balanced approach, with a focus on utilising the attacking prowess of Diaz and Martinez. Their recent home form suggests a strong offensive display is possible, but the absence of key defenders might necessitate a more cautious approach.

Celta Vigo (3-4-3)

  • Predicted lineup: Radu (GK), Fernandez (DF), Starfelt (DF), Alonso (DF), Mingueza (MF) (If fit), Sotelo (MF), Moriba (MF), Carreira (MF), Jutgla (AT), Iglesias (AT), Duran (AT)

Celta Vigo's 3-4-3 formation highlights their intent to maintain an attacking threat with Jutgla, Iglesias, and Duran leading the line. However, the absence of several key players might force them to rely more on their midfield to control the game and support the attack.

Key Battles & Players to Watch

  • Diaz vs Starfelt: This matchup pits Alaves' forward Diaz against Celta Vigo's defender Starfelt, a matchup potentially crucial to the game's outcome.

  • Blanco vs Moriba: Alaves' midfielder Blanco will face off against Celta Vigo's Moriba, a battle that could influence the midfield control and tempo of the match.

  • Martinez (Alaves): Martinez's recent performances and his role as a key attacker make him a vital player for Alaves, especially in their home games. The home side will be hoping he recovers from a recent knock.

  • Duran (Celta Vigo): Duran's consistent presence in the lineup and his contribution to Celta Vigo's attack make him a player to watch, particularly given the team's injury concerns.
