Betting tip

Goals are hard to come by in Celta de Vigo's matches, and the case for under 2.5 goals rests on a consistent pattern: 6 of their 8 games in the current La Liga season have produced no more than two goals.

The Vigo club defend their penalty area more tightly than anyone else in the league: across the opening eight rounds, Celta de Vigo have conceded an average of just 0.75 goals per match and are joint-lowest in the league for total goals per game, averaging 1.75. The Galician side have also scored no more than once in 9 of their last 10 La Liga matches, so they are unlikely to raise the tempo and turn the game into a shootout themselves.

Deportivo Alavés are also reluctant to get drawn into a reckless exchange of goals: 9 of the Basque side's last 10 league matches have produced no more than three goals in total. The visitors themselves scored no more than once in 8 of those 10 games, so breaking down the hosts' organised defence will be difficult.

The visitors' attacking output at the start of the season does give some cause for concern: Deportivo Alavés have averaged 1.5 goals per match across eight rounds. If the visitors take an early lead, the game could be forced to open up, putting the bet at risk.

Even so, the hosts' tight defending around their own goal outweighs the visitors' attacking bursts. Given the reliability of the Vigo side's defence and the low overall goal totals in these teams' matches, I expect no more than two goals in this game.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals — 1.65
