Celta take on the visitors Alaves in the round 7 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, September 28th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo).
The Galicians have recently slid back into the fight for survival, changing coaches. This was the case last season when they eventually secured a fairly high thirteenth place with 43 points. However, this summer, they succumbed to the temptation of appointing Rafa as the head coach. Returning to his homeland, he clearly wanted to shake off the stigma of a crash-landed pilot. However, the new coach has yet to secure a win at Balaidos: his team not only lost to Real but also to Osasuna and Mallorca. However, they managed to draw with Real Sociedad away and even won against Almeria. They were leading by two goals in Barcelona, but in the end, they conceded three times in the last quarter of an hour of play.

Alaves have had a fairly decent start. The Bean Destroyers managed to return to La Liga, but they did it not directly but by winning a tough, dramatic playoff in Segunda. Considering this, Luis Garcia's team was seen as a natural outsider in the new season. However, they have been actively collecting points so far, mainly by maximizing their performance at home. After losing away to Cadiz, not to mention Getafe and Rayo Vallecano (all games ended goalless), they won against Sevilla and Valencia at home. It's no wonder Athletic Bilbao defeated them 2-0.
The last time Alaves won was back in 2019. But then, Celta won against them five times in a row. The match in Vigo is expected to be won by the home side. However, it's unlikely to be a high-scoring game. We expect total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
