- Kick-off Time – 04:30 pm GMT

Deportivo Alaves will host Celta Vigo in a bottom-half clash in La Liga on Saturday.
Both teams have struggled this season and still have work to do in the remaining six games to be safe from relegation. Alaves are in a much better position as they sit 14th, 10 points above the relegation zone.
They have nine wins, eight draws, and 15 defeats in the league this season. Another win will pretty much guarantee their safety for another season.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, are 17th, six points above the relegation zone. They have seven wins, 10 draws and 15 defeats in La Liga this season. While Celta have created some gap between themselves and the relegation zone, they cannot avoid any slip-ups in their remaining games.
