Elche vs Celta Vigo Match Analysis & Prediction
06/01/2023 8:30 pm
Elche and Celta Vigo will go head to head at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero on Friday with the sides looking to put an end to La Liga winless runs.
While the hosts have failed to pick up maximum points in 15 straight matches, the visitors aim to avoid their ninth staright game without a victory.
Elche are currently sitting rock-bottom in 20th place on four points through 15 matches, nine points behind their opponents in the safety of 17th place.
Los Franjiverdes suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in their last league match at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano, extending their winless season start to 15 matches – with four draws and 11 losses.
A first home win of the La Liga campaign has so far proven elusive for Elche, who have two draws and five losses from seven matches, and they are in the midst of a seven-game home winless streak dating back to August 2022 against Almeria.
Meanwhile, Celta Vigo enter the contest off the back of a 3-1 defeat after extra time away at Espanyol in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday evening.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Sevilla at Abanca-Balaidos in their last league match to extend their winless run to eight, leaving them in 17th spot on 13 points through 15 matches.
Celta Vigo will now be looking to address a poor run of results away from home this season, where they have recorded one draw, five losses and just one win in league away matches.
They are looking to reverse a six-game away winless streak, having not won on the road since August 2022 against Girona.

In the previous 20 meetings between these two teams across two competitions, Elche have claimed six victories while Celta Vigo have won seven, and they have drawn in seven. Celta Vigo have scored 25 goals and conceded 22 in the process.
