Alaves vs Celta prediction, H2H and probable lineups - November 22, 2025
One of the fixtures of La Liga's 13th round will take place this Saturday at the Mendizorrotza Stadium in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where the local side Alaves will host Celta. Let's break down the betting prospects for this clash, taking into account the distinctive playing styles of both teams.
Match preview
Alaves continue to deliver inconsistent results, alternating between draws, defeats, and the occasional win. The team struggles with a lack of attacking firepower, yet remains solid at the back—just 11 goals conceded in 12 rounds. At home, Alaves perform confidently and are tough to beat, leveraging the support of their fans to gain an extra edge.
It's also worth noting that even on their own turf, the Basques rarely keep a clean sheet. In 6 of their last 7 home matches, both teams found the net. The return of the previously suspended Boye could add variety up front, but overall, the squad’s attacking potential remains limited. Their main focus is on organized defending and capitalizing on opponents’ mistakes.
Celta play a contrasting style—while also inconsistent, the Galicians are a high-scoring side. They haven’t left the pitch without scoring in 11 straight games, but haven’t managed a clean sheet in 14 consecutive matches either. This trend is even more pronounced away from home, where Celta consistently find the net but also concede regularly—only 2 of their last 16 away games ended with a shutout for the visitors.
The team’s attacking strength is built on pace down the flanks and relentless pressing, which generates plenty of chances. However, their defensive cohesion is lacking, preventing them from climbing higher in the standings. Frequent draws have left Celta stuck in mid-table, and their cushion above the relegation zone remains slim. Picking up points in matches like this is absolutely crucial for them.
Probable lineups
- Alaves: Sivera; Castro, Tenaglia, Parada, Enriquez; Calebe, Blanco, Suarez, Alena; Martinez, Boye
- Celta: Radu; Alonso, Starfelt, Fernandez; Rueda, Moriba, Sotelo, Mingueza; Duran, Iglesias, Jutgla

Prediction
Both teams have the firepower to get on the scoresheet: Alaves play boldly at home, while Celta are regular scorers but leak goals at the back. Expect both teams to find the net in this one.
