The Spanish La Liga weekend fixtures begin on Friday night with a meeting between Elche and Celta Vigo at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
The hosts started the match in 10th place on 10 points while the visitors are down in 17th place with 6 points to their name having played two games more than their opponents.
Elche come into the game having lost 3-1 at Real Betis last time out. It was their first defeat in 5 matches and Elche were 3-0 down after 56 minutes of the match. They pulled a goal back with 30 minutes remaining but could not stage a full recovery.
Prior to that defeat, Elche enjoyed a run of 4 games without a loss. The run started with a 1-0 at Eibar followed by 0-0 draw at home with Huesca. Then came a 2-1 victory at Deportivo Alaves and a good 2-1 home win over Valencia.
Elche have been struggling to pick up victories in recent home La Liga games. They have won only one of their last 4 league matches at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
However, Elche are undefeated in their last 2 home games, picking up 4 points. Trends show Elche have seen an average of 1.5 goals scored in their 2 home La Liga matches this season, with all 3 goals coming in their most recent home fixture against Valencia.
Celta Vigo have been in poor form having failed to win any of their last 6 La Liga games. They started the season by picking up 5 points from a possible 9 thanks to draws at Eibar and Real Valladolid and a home victory over Valencia. However, following the win over Valencia, Celta Vigo have failed to win a match.
There have been 4 defeats, 3 of which have come at home against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Sociedad. There is no disgrace in losing to those teams but Celta Vigo never came close to beating any of them, losing by at 2 goals in each match.
Away from home, Celta Vigo tasted defeat at Osasuna and more recently picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Levante.
Trends show Celta de Vigo have won just 2 of their last 23 away league games plus there have been under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 5 away matches in La Liga.
Team news and Elche have doubts over the fitness of Guido Marcelo Carrillo, who has a knee injury. Every other player should be fit and available.
Celta Vigo travel without Kevin Vazquez, Novegil Hugo Mallo, and Sergio Alvarez who are all injured.
Elche have made a decent start to the season and a victory here will see them move up to 7th place in the league. Celta Vigo have been struggling away from home for some time and we expect to see the hosts come out on top, possibly winning with a clean sheet.
