Slaves vs Celta Vigo

Sunday’s action in LaLiga commences in Vitoria where struggling Alaves are really in need of the points as they take on Celta Vigo. The visitors look to be heading towards a safe mid-table finish but European dreams now look distant ones with a huge amount of ground to make up on the sides in the final European places.

Alaves fans will be hoping that the international break has given Abelardo the chance to gather his troops and put some ideas into practice on the training ground. It can’t be easy arriving in the middle of such a congested season to do that but patience is already starting to wear a bit thin with the returning boss struggling to get anything going in his second spell at the club.

Since Abelardo’s appointment in early January, Alaves have played 10 league games, but have only won one and have only collected five points. A repeat over the final 10 games of the season will certainly see them relegated to the Segunda Division and they are going to have start winning these kinds of matches with home form likely to be key in Alaves’ push for survival.
