In the first round of the new season, football fans will be waiting for two strong mid-table Spanish football clubs – Celta and Alaves. Both clubs finished the last championship well and will try to start the new season on a positive note.

Odds for the match Celta – Alaves

“Celta” and “Alaves” will meet in the first round of La Liga. Bookmakers consider Galician favourites, but their advantage does not look overwhelming. The odds on Celta’s victory range from 1.93 to 2.005.

Alaves’ chances of an away win are regarded as lower, but not zero. Odds for the Basque club’s triumph range from 3.7 to 4.16.

The probability of a draw is also estimated to be quite high. The odds for a draw are in the region of 3.25-3.615.

Celta vs Alaves Match Prediction

Taking into account the statistics of recent head-to-head meetings, in which there is an equaliser, as well as the good form of both teams at the end of the last championship, a tense and competitive match is expected. “Celta” will try to use the advantage of their field and higher attacking potential. But Alaves will surely give a fight and try to cling on to the points.

At the same time, the meeting is unlikely to be too rich in goals – both teams traditionally operate from defence. This is also hinted at by the bookmakers’ quotes.

The most likely outcome is either a minimal win for Celta with a one goal difference, or a draw with few goals (e.g. 1:1 or 0:0).

Prediction for the match – the total of the match is less than 2.5 goals for the odds of 1.65.

Recent official meetings

Celta

The team has five wins, three losses, and two draws in the last ten La Liga matches. Among the successes of “Celta,” it is especially worth noting the victory over “Sevilla” (1:2) on the road. Also, Galician pleased their fans with victories over Granada (1:2), Atletico (2:1), Villarreal (3:2) and Las Palmas (4:1). In these matches, the team from Vigo demonstrated attacking football and scored a total of 11 goals.

However, it was not without setbacks. Defeats to Atletico (1-0), Alaves (3-0) and Betis (2-1) somewhat blurred the impression of the end of the season and did not allow Celta to rise higher in the standings.

The draws with Valencia (2-2) and Rayo Vallecano (0-0) can be viewed in different ways. On the one hand, Celta missed wins in these games, on the other hand, they avoided defeat and added to their points tally.

“Celta” spent an uneven season but managed to please their fans with a bright game at the end of the championship.

Alaves

“Alaves, unlike Celta, finished strongly and managed to stay in La Liga. In the last ten matches, the Basques won four, lost two, and drew four times.

Important for Alaves were victories over Getafe (1:0), Valencia (0:1), Celta (3:0) and Atletico (2:0). These results allowed the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz to break away from the relegation zone and secure a place in the elite next season.

The draw in the Basque derby with Atletico (0-0) can also be credited to Alaves, given the level of the opponent. But the loss of points in the matches against Las Palmas (1:1) and Girona (2:2) did not allow the team to rise higher in the table.

Defeats to Real Madrid (5-0), Granada (2-0) and Real Sociedad (0-1) did not affect Alaves’ ultimate success in the fight for survival.

History of head-to-head confrontations

“Celta and Alaves have played a total of 70 matches against each other, with the history of their rivalry going back to the last century. The statistics of head-to-head meetings show a slight advantage for the Galician club, which has 28 victories against 25 for the Basques. A further 17 matches have ended in a draw.

If we talk about performance, here the superiority of Celta looks more obvious. “Celtic” on average scores 1.41 goals per game, while “Alaves” responds with a modest 1.07 goals. In just 70 matches, Celta have scored 99 goals against Alaves while conceding 75.

However, in recent head-to-head meetings, there has been some equality. In the last 10 matches in La Liga, Celta won 5 times, Alaves 3, and 2 more matches ended in a draw. And Alaves managed to break a streak of 6 matches without wins in a row and beat Galician away in April 2024 (3:0).
