On January 6, Manuel Martinez Valero (Elche) will host the match of the 16th round of the La Liga, in which Elche will compete with Celta. The battle will start at 18:30 CET.

Elche

The club, having been absent for a long time, created a miracle – a comeback into the Primera. Moreover, it has already taken enough points to gain a foothold there, although everyone was waiting for the relegation. And the season after, despite the scepticism, the team even managed to finish on the 13th place. This fact makes the recent decline, when it was impossible to win at all, even more painful. Nothing helps, even the replacement of the coach. It seems that Pablo Machin is an experienced coach, who has achieved a lot in similar conditions, but he cannot turn the tide in this club. And a long pause didn’t change the situation. The team continued the season in Madrid that was an away match against Atlético. As a result, “the Mattress Makers” got a quite expected victory with a confident 2-0 score. 4 points after 15 matches looks like the final verdict.

Celta

The team from Vigo has become accustomed to the constant struggle for survival. The previous season was different from the other ones due to the fact that the management abandoned the practice of dismissing the coaches in the first part of the championship, although the results were more than terrible. Eduardo Coudet justified the trust by means of a relatively positive finish, which was followed by good results in the first rounds of the new temporada. But then everything went awry, and the management said a final goodbye to the Argentinean specialist. Carlos Carvalhal came to the club in November, but it was more than clear that the first results of the Portuguese coach, the most preliminary ones, could only be made after a pause, in the winter. So far, there is no reason to praise: the team played a 1-1 draw with Sevilla, a direct competitor in the standings, and flew out of the Copa del Rey, being defeated by Espanyol.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Elche has got 1 win and 3 defeats in 6 previous head-to-head matches. But that victory was achieved at the higher mentioned arena, when Benedetto's goal remained the only one in October 2021.

Predictions

Bookmakers sympathize with Celta. But not everything works in its case, thus, it is better to make the neutral decision – “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.67).
