Celta Vigo vs Elche predictions for this La Liga fixture at Estadio de Balaidos in Vigo. 10th placed Celta take on relegation threatened Elche. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Celta Vigo to maintain their mid-table position
Celta is having a horrible start to the year. Not only they haven’t won in the league but they were also knocked out of the Copa del Rey by lowly Ibiza 5-2.
Their last three draws were preceded by three defeats in their last six matches leaving them to slide down the table to 10th position.
Their last match against leaders Atletico Madrid 2-2 must boost their confidence. Coach Eduardo Coudet must be satisfied with his team in this match scoring two goals against the best defense in the league.
Elche looking to escape the relegation zone
After drawing their last match as well like their opponents 2-2 against Villareal, Elche go into this match with only one intention, to win, something they haven’t been able to do in 15 matches.
They are 2nd from the bottom of the table in the 19th position and although they haven’t lost the chance to stay in the top flight they have to find a way to stop that horrible run.
Key Stats
Celta Vigo vs Elche Predictions
Celta Vigo feels they deserve a better position in the league with their current squad. They have good offensive players with veterans Aspas and Nolito but they are suffering at the back with nine goals conceded in six matches.
They were able to score in four of those six matches and so did their opponents Elche. Celta has the offensive strength to score in this match and given the importance of the match to Elche, we predict both teams will score in this match.
