2025-26 Spanish La Liga
Matchday 29
Celta Vigo v Alaves
Estadio Balaidos
Vigo, Spain
Sunday, 22 March 2026
Kick-off is at 15h15
Celta Vigo will be looking to get their Europa League challenge back on track when La Liga strugglers Alaves arrive at Balaidos on Sunday, March 22.
The Sky Blues currently occupy the UEFA Conference League berth, but they are just three points behind fifth-placed Real Betis with 10 matches left to play.
Claudio Giraldez's side have capitalised on Espanyol's poor run of form in 2026 to climb up to sixth spot, but Real Sociedad are breathing down their necks, a further three points back.
Celta kept Betis within touching distance after they played out to a 1-1 draw on March 15, with both teams having lost the previous week.

The Babazorros have been very inconsistent this season, and they've found that results have to come by since the start of February.
Quique Sanchez Flores is still searching for his first win at the helm after replacing Eduardo Coudet, who took over the reins of River Plate on March 3.
Flores' debut ended in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to former employers Valencia before he picked up his first point in a 1-1 draw with Villarreal on March 13.

However, the Basque outfit is still in danger of being dragged into a relegation scrap as they're just two points above Elche (18th) in 17th place.
Flores is hopeful that they can turn things around in the final 10 games, saying: "This group has the personality to compete when things get tough, and that gives us hope to continue growing."
