Elche vs Celta: prediction for the La Liga fixture
On January 6, the Green-striped ones will host the Sky-Blues for the La Liga clash. What to expect from this game? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Elche

Elche are welcoming their fifth head coach in 2022/23 season to Manuel Martinez Valero stadium. Pablo Machin suffered an away defeat to 11-time Spanish champion, Atletico (0:2), on his return to La Liga. Machin praised his players for their performance, stating that team's defensive game fell apart only after a red card to club's captain, Gonzalo Verdu.
Nonetheless, after 15 matches team has only four draws, delivering four points and a last place in the standings. Team is terrible on the offense, scoring only 10 goals so far.
Verdu, Mercau, Josan, Collado, Quirant, Chetauyah and Alamowill miss the upcoming game.

Celta Vigo

Celta gained no advantage from the change of head coach so far, at least in La Liga. New boss, Carlos Carvalhal, crushed some low-tier teams in Copa del Rey, but he is still unable to get a victory in La Liga. Celts are currently just one point away from the relegation zone.
The Sky Blues might become the first club to lose to Elche in the current season, it's been a long time without victories for the visitors. Vigo team has three victories and four draws, delivering 13 points and a 17th position in the standings.
Perez is the only injured player in team's squad.

Tip and bets
We offer to place a bet on the hosts, their winless run is going on for way too long and now they have a chance to put an end to that horror. Celts are not much better than the White-Greens, they should be able to beat the opponent.
Our prediction - Elche to win the match
We think that the outcome of this game will be decided by a single mistake. Both teams are full of energy, but it is a very important game and opponents barely score any goals, so we are expecting no more than two goals.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
