Alaves vs Celta Vigo
Competition – Spanish Primera Liga
Stadium: Mendizorroza
Date: 27th January 2025
Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Alaves will look to make it two wins in a row when they welcome Celta Vigo to the Estadio Mendizorrotza this Monday.
The relegation-threatened Alaves ended their seven-game winless La Liga run with a 3-1 win over Betis in the previous round and so they come into this tie aiming to record back-to-back league wins for the first time since September to keep their survival push going.
Whilst they remained perilously close to the drop zone pre-round, Alaves do have an identical points haul to this stage of last season when they eventually beat the drop. But despite their recent success, the hosts remain winless in their last three home games (D2, L1) and are at risk of failing to win four straight top-flight home games for the first time since 2022.
Meanwhile, Celta Vigo will be desperate to end a run of two straight losses when they travel to Vitoria-Gasteiz on Monday night.
Like their hosts, the visitors are also relegation threatened after taking 24 points from their opening 20 games. They sit four points above Alaves and could yet find themselves in a fight for survival.
Having lost their last two league games, a third straight top-flight defeat in succession would be Celta’s worst streak since 2022/23, although, despite their recent failures, Celta remains seven points better off than they were at the same stage last season.
That said, playing on a Monday often ends in frustration for Celta who recorded stalemates in most of their last ten such La Liga matches (W1, D6, L3). The visitors are also winless in their last six away trips to sides from the Basque Country (D2, L4), the last three of which saw Celta lose whilst conceding at least three goals.
