Aiming to move away from the drop zone, Deportivo Alaves and Celta Vigo lock horns in a key battle in La Liga this weekend. The Mendizorrotza Stadium in Vitoria-Gasteiz will host this match on Saturday. The hosts are 14th with 35 points, and the visitors are 17th with 31 points. Ahead of this weekend, Cadiz is the team in the last relegation spot with 25 points. Alaves defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 in their last match to move ten points away from the relegation zone. That was an emphatic win for a side that has lost three matches in a row and given some nervous moments to the fans. One of the goals came in stoppage time, but it was a well-deserved victory for the hosts. That result has extended their impressive recent record at this venue, as Alaves have won and drawn two games each out of their last five league matches here.

Celta gave their own safety chances a boost with a 4-1 win over Las Palmas in their last match. Their recent form has firmed up belief that they can avoid the drop, as the visitors have won three and drawn two of their last seven league matches. That said, a loss here would add anxiety, especially if Cadiz win against Mallorca and reduce the gap to three points. There will be some nervous faces in the away dug-out as Celta hasn’t quite enjoyed their travels lately. The visitors have lost three and drawn one of their last five away league games, with their only win in that sequence coming against Sevilla.
