Elche vs Celta Vigo Match Summary
Competition | Spanish Primera Division |

Match Time | 13:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Martínez Valero |
Elche vs Celta Vigo brings two strugglers together at Martínez Valero on Sunday, with bottom-three Elche hosting a Celta side sitting 15th in the LaLiga table.
Elche failed to win any of their opening six games before finally beating Espanyol last time out. Home comforts have been nowhere to be found, with all three league outings at Martínez Valero lost.
Celta have been hard to beat but harder to trust, losing only twice before finally winning last time out against Racing Santander. They have drawn all three away league games so far.
Celta hold the upper hand in this fixture, winning four of the previous meetings without a draw between the sides. The Elche vs Celta Vigo betting odds agree, pricing Celta at 6/4 (Bet365).
Elche vs Celta Vigo Form
Elche finally got off the mark last time out by winning at Espanyol, ending a winless opening to the season. Fer Niño struck twice that day and has now found the net in 4 of his last 5 LaLiga outings, making him the man carrying this attack. The defence remains the problem, leaking goals far too easily for a side fighting at the wrong end.
Celta went into the international break on a high after thrashing Racing Santander 5-0 at home, a first league win after a stodgy start full of draws. Hugo González got on the scoresheet in that rout and has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last three LaLiga games. Finishing is still a weakness, so they are far from the finished article.
Elche vs Celta Vigo Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Elche: Yago Santiago (Injured/doubtful), Federico Redondo (Suspended)
Celta Vigo: Miguel Román (Injured/out), Carl Starfelt (Injured/out), Jones El Abdellaoui (Injured/out), Iago Aspas (Doubtful)
Elche
Federico Redondo serves a suspension following his red card last time out, and that is a blow Elche could do without. Yago Santiago remains a doubt as he recovers from a knee injury. In the probable 4-2-3-1, Fer Niño leads the line with T. Lemar operating behind him.
Celta Vigo
Celta are without Miguel Román, Carl Starfelt and Jones El Abdellaoui through injury, with Román and Starfelt not expected back this month. Iago Aspas is a doubt again, which matters given he has registered a shot on target in four of his previous five appearances against Elche in LaLiga. The probable Elche vs Celta Vigo lineups have Celta in a 3-4-2-1 with F. Jutglà up top.

Elche vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Elche 1-2 Celta Vigo. Celta carry the better momentum and the stronger record in this fixture, and Elche losing Redondo to suspension does nothing to shore up a defence that has been far too generous. Our Elche vs Celta Vigo prediction has goals at both ends, but the visitors have more about them and look the side to back.
Best Bets
Celta Vigo to win in the Win Market. Celta carry an implied probability of 43% for this result, clearly ahead of the hosts, and the current price looks generous across a range of bookmakers. With Elche short of Redondo and Celta having won four of the previous meetings between these two, these Elche vs Celta Vigo best bets start with the away side.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Both sides are expected to find the net. Both teams to score carries an implied probability of almost 55%, and Elche's defence has been breached regularly, with over 2.5 goals showing up in 5 of their last 6 LaLiga outings. Celta are short of bodies, but they still have enough going forward to trouble this Elche back line.
Elche vs Celta Vigo Bet Builder
For a bigger price, our Elche vs Celta Vigo bet builder tips lean into a messy game: a Marcos Alonso card, Facundo Buonanotte shots on target, over 3.5 goals and both teams to score.
Marcos Alonso has picked up a card in 3 of his last 4 LaLiga appearances. Celta Vigo have also received 2+ cards in 8 of their last 10 matches vs Elche in LaLiga.
Facundo Buonanotte has managed at least one shot on target in each of his last four league games. That is a modest bar to clear in a fixture where both defences look vulnerable.
Over 3.5 goals has been the outcome in 5 of Elche's last 6 matches. On its own it is 13/5 (Bet Victor), and Elche's leaky defence gives this leg real legs.
Both teams finding the net has happened in all 5 of Elche's last 5 matches. It is 4/5 (Betway) as a single and sits neatly alongside the goals leg.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 18/1 and is as short as 14/1 elsewhere.

Elche vs Celta Vigo Talking Points
Elche boss Martín Anselmi says Celta are an opponent he enjoys facing because they challenge managers to come up with solutions, while Claudio Giráldez wants his side to carry the good feeling from the Racing Santander rout and impose themselves tactically. That tactical battle is the story here. Celta love to shoot from range and control games in the opposition half, and Elche have struggled to keep opponents quiet or defend attacks down the flanks. Elche are aggressive and like to play the offside trap, so referee Javier Alberola Rojas could be in for a busy afternoon.
