The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Celta de Vigo are in the 10th position while the guesting Elche worry at 19th.
- Celta de Vigo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Elche is in the worst form (0-2-4)
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the La Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Atletico Madrid.
These teams have little in common geographically as Elche have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Celta de Vigo form and stats
Overall La Liga stats at home this season for Celta de Vigo are 5-1-4 (wins-draw-losses). With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Celta.
0-0 away at Granada before that.
Facundo Ferreyra was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Atletico Madrid after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
The Celta fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 15 goals in 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Elche form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Elche so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Elche, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Valencia game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Elche's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Villarreal that finished 2-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Valencia wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
An inspired comeback made the scores level in Elche's duel with Villarreal. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Lucas Boyé found the equalizer.
The attacking power of Elche when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Elche have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Elche - Celta 1-1.
