EV: 13.6%
Model probability for over 2.5 goals (36%) is significantly higher than the implied probability from odds (19.6%), creating a positive value edge. Both teams have a moderate over 2.5 rate and Celta Vigo's attack is above average, while Alaves' defense is weak away. However, both teams' recent matches trend under, so stake is low.
Match Analysis
Celta Vigo come into this match as clear favorites, sitting 6th in La Liga with a solid recent form and a strong home record against Alaves. Alaves, struggling in 17th and with a poor away record, have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five and rarely threaten on the road. Celta's attack has been consistent, and their defense generally holds up against lower-table sides. Expect a controlled match from the hosts, with a good chance of a clean sheet and a moderate probability of a multi-goal win. The historical H2H is heavily in Celta's favor, especially at Balaídos.
