Celta Vigo vs Alavés: match facts, form and head-to-head – 18 October 2026, La Liga

Celta Vigo host Alavés in what promises to be a stark contrast of fortunes, with the Galicians languishing in 15th place on just four points from six games – all of their matches ending in draws or defeats and a meagre 3‑6 goal return. Alavés, perched third with ten points, have already secured three wins, a draw and only one loss, while boasting an impressive 11‑5 goal difference. The gap in both points and firepower suggests that Vigo will need to tighten up defensively and find a way to convert chances if they hope to avoid slipping further down the table. Meanwhile, Alavés will look to extend their surge toward the top, hoping to turn the visit into another clean sheet and three points.
