Alaves vs. Celta Vigo Preview
The clashes started Sunday in La Liga action. This day will see some of the sides near the bottom in action and two of them face off here in what is something of a game of pressure to both coaches. Celta Vigo is better at this point but certainly Fran Escriba who are in danger of losing their jobs faster with precious few signs that Celta were on track for a much better season despite several additional interesting summer.
On the surface, Asier Garitano seems appropriate to Alaves but the result left him lately. Alaves have lost 4 of their last 5 games to slide down the table. But it is a home game against bottom side half in which they are usually very consistent and most of their points this term comes from the home win over Levante and Mallorca.
Celta Vigo claimed a much-needed three points last time. Iago Aspas broke the duck for the season to seal a 1-0 victory over Athletic Club. It was a victory that just might continue to Escriba on the job but they are still very much in the wrong half of the league, a disappointing start when you consider five of their opening eight games are in Balaidos.
Both teams tend to line up 4-4-2 for this one but it is in truth a conservative 4-4-2 with not much creativity coming from the central area on both sides. Alaves and Celta were the two teams to have the fewest number of shots so far this season in La Liga and it is difficult to see this one developed into a classic.

Alaves vs. Celta Vigo Predictions
Host fails to take back to back wins before the international break and at the end of the scorecard 2-1 defeat against Valencia in the street. Asier Garitano men still have only two wins to boast as it is now. And, currently seventeenth in the table with just eight points to their name.

However, given that the visitor has forced two of their last three opponents on the road to sharing the spoils with them, the safest punt is undoubtedly good support double chance draw or Deportivo Alaves to win.
In addition, the Celta Vigo forward line is not provided in their events so far and have collected just one goal to their name. Garitano's side had hardly been tortured to the purpose of calculating in their clash here as well and have found the back of the net just three times.
Therefore expect low scoring affair in this one.
