Reports have suggested this week that Alaves coach Mauricio Pellegrino could well be leaving the club at the end of the season, but if he does go he’ll want to leave on a high.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, will be heading into the weekend after a draining Thursday night clash against Manchester United in the Europa League semi finals, which has to be taken into account in our Alaves vs Celta Vigo preview.
- Las Palmas 1-1 Alaves
- Alaves 0-0 Eibar
- Real Betis 1-4 Alaves
- Alaves 1-0 Athletic Club
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches in LaLiga, and at Estadio de Mendizorroza they have lost just once in their last seven outings.
La Celeste, meanwhile, will be forced to use a rotated team once again for league action, with Eduardo Berizzo expected to continue his policy of making nine changes. A policy which has seen them lose their last four consecutive league games, heavily affecting our Alaves vs Celta Vigo predictions.
- Celta Vigo 0-1 Real Betis
- Sevilla 2-1 Celta Vigo
- Celta Vigo 0-3 Athletic Bilbao
- Malaga 3-0 Celta Vigo
Alaves will be able to pick a full-strength team heading towards their big cup final at the end of the month against Barcelona, and they look in fantastic shape to put the visitors to the sword.
It is hard to see Celta Vigo creating big opportunities or scoring goals against the hosts, making our Alaves vs Celta Vigo picks rather one-sided indeed.
