As part of the ninth round of the Spanish Primera, Celta will host Alaves. The hosts complete the top ten, and the guests occupy the seventh place. Who will be able to score tournament points on October 18? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Celta Vigo
Current form
Celta had a terrible start to the season and never won in the first six league matches, but then they managed to score a big victory over Racing (5-0). It was not possible to build on the success - on October 11, the team from Vigo drew with Elche (0:0) on the road. The hosts are in tenth place in the standings, but they are only one point ahead of the relegation zone. In the Europa League, the start was also unsuccessful - Claudio Giraldes's team lost to Omonia (0:1) and Juventus (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Duran, El Abdellaoui, Iglesias, Roman and Starfelt will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The team has won only one match this season.
The hosts have lost three of their last five home matches.
Alaves became the main sensation of the Spanish Primera at the start of the season. The team scored three wins against Getafe (3:0), Villarreal (1:0) and Osasuna (5:2), but then began to lose. In the autumn, the team from Vitoria-Gasteiz lost to Racing (1:2), Valencia (0:1) and Atletico Madrid (1:2), and managed to avoid defeat only in the match with Athletic (0:0). The guests occupy seventh place in the standings and are only two points behind the European Cup zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodriguez is injured and will not participate in the match. Garces and Perez are disqualified.
Interesting betting trends
The visitors have not won in the last four matches.
The team has scored only one goal in the last three matches.
Celta managed to score four points in the last two rounds, but the hosts clearly want more. The club has not lost in the last five matches, but there was only one victory. The home match against Alaves is a great opportunity to score three points and break away from the relegation zone. Alaves has not looked as threatening lately as it did at the beginning of the season - they managed to score only one point in four rounds. With the right level of motivation, the Vigo team should win the home game.
Celta will only fight to win the home match against Middleweight, but Alaves clearly wants to break the losing streak, which means he will actively counterattack. This season shows that the opponents have no problems with the realization of chances, so for sure we will see an exchange of goals scored.
Our betting tip is that both will score in 1.90
Betting on corners
Today's opponents don't give corners that often. In the last three matches, both teams have never been able to win by this indicator. We probably won't see many corners in a face-to-face match either.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 8.5 corners in 2.15
