Alaves have conceded 44 goals while Celta have let in 43 goals. Celta have scored 12 goals more than the hosts and their better goalscoring form in recent games might help Celta record a win here.The game might not be a high-scoring one, but the defensive frailties of both clubs should make it an interesting watch. We predict a win for the visitors here.Prediction: Deportivo Alaves 1-2 Celta VigoAlso See: Osasuna vs Getafe prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2020-21
