Celta Vigo vs Alaves — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.5: Celta games just do not produce goals, and that is the heart of this one. Their games average just over 2 goals in total, and only 5 of their last 15 had 3 or more. Three of their last ten finished 0-0. Celta score just over a goal a game and let in under one, so little happens at either end. Alaves are not the team to break that pattern. They have won one of their last seven away games and score just over a goal a game on the road. They have been making very few chances across their last five games. Celta have tied five of their eight league games and came away from Elche with a 0-0 last time out. Celta played Juventus on Thursday and have had three days to Alaves' eight. Tired legs will not help the home attack. There is almost nothing between these two sides. A 1-1 looks the single most likely result, and a quiet night at Balaidos is what we are after. The warning comes from the away side's own games. Alaves games average almost 3 goals in total, and 9 of their last 16 had 3 or more. The last 18 meetings between these two averaged almost 3 goals as well. Those are real numbers against us. We still want the low scoring game here.
