Insights:
  • Celta de Vigo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Elche have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Celta are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Elche is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Celta and Elche.
