Head To Head: Can Alaves Keep The Streak Alive?

Celta de Vigo sit down in 17th with a 0-1-2 record, struggling for firepower with only one goal scored against four conceded across their three outings.

The head-to-head market reflects some clear price movement. Celta de Vigo opened at 2.05 but have 2.05→2.1 (drifted) out to 2.1. Meanwhile, the draw has seen support, moving 3.25→3.2 (firmed) down to 3.2. Deportivo Alaves sit at 3.4 to collect all three points on the road. Given the visiting side remains undefeated while Celta have managed just a single goal so far, an away result rates a real chance.
