Team News

Deportivo Alaves
Celta Vigo
  • Abdel Aqbar and Rafa Marin are both suspended for this one, meaning Alaves will be without their preferred centre-back pairing for the Celta match.
  • Ruben Duarte is a doubt with a knock, but will be needed to fill Alaves' defensive holes this weekend.
  • Myhailo Ristic, Luca de La Torre, and Carlos Dotor could all be available for the trip north.
  • Jorgen Strand Larsen is suspended having picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Las Palmas.
  • Willot Swedberg should pair with Iago Aspas up top.

Prediction

  • Deportivo Alaves return home after a spectacular 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid last weekend. They host Celta Vigo on Saturday evening who themselves are winning a crucial battle at the foot of the table to survive and stay in La Liga.
  • Celta could go nine points clear of the relegation zone if results were to go their way this weekend, almost certainly securing their status in the top flight, but face a tricky Alaves side that managed to keep a clean sheet against the ferocious tactical set up of Diego Simeone last week. Being without their two trusted centre-backs, though, will pose a challenge for the hosts.
  • This one is an underrated fixture that could be as fascinating as any other game this weekend, but expect Celta Vigo's desire to get them over the line and further up the table.
