Alaves vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips (27 January)

Deportivo Alaves is engaged in the race to maintain itself by being first non-relegation at the start of this day. Threatened by Espanyol over the weekend, it is clear that the Basques are obliged to win as many matches as possible, particularly at home, until the end of the season. After a very sad series of 7 days without success including 3 defeats, El Glorioso returned to winning ways last weekend by beating Bétis at Benito Villamarin 1-3. The exclusion upon returning from the locker room of Romain Perraud ex-Nice helped him overcome the Verdiblancos.

 Opposite, Celta Vigo is only 4 points ahead of its evening counterpart and, in the event of defeat this evening in the Basque Country, it could see the entire armada of maintenance return to its rear. In La Liga, the Galicians remain on two successive losses against Rayo Vallecano on the road 2-1, and at home for the visit of Bilbao during the previous day 1-2. We can add that in the Copa del Rey against Real Madrid, the Celticos ended up cracking quite frankly in overtime 5-2 AP. 

Midfielder Blanco will not play on the field this evening because he is suspended. Former Sevilla FC player Joan Jordan, as well as young talent Carlos Martin (midfielder) and starting goalkeeper Sivera (wrist injury), all three injured, should also give up this Monday evening. With his 6 small appearances in the first half of the season, Luka Romero broke his loan while striker Rebbach joined Granada on loan. Author of a hat-trick against Bétis, Kike Garcia is now at 8 goals in La Liga. Scorer against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey despite the defeat in overtime, Jonathan Bamba joined the Chicago Fire (MLS) during the winter transfer window .

Among the absences due to injury, we note the presence of captain Iago Aspas (6 goals, 3 assists), and that of Alfonso Gonzalez (1 goal, 1 assist in La Liga). Mingueza will serve a suspension while another former Barcelona player, Marcos Alonso, will be eligible again. For the rest, boys like Douvikas, Manquillo (ex-Newcastle), or even Moriba (ex-Barcelona) will be available.
