Elche vs Celta Vigo prediction

THE FORECAST

Celta Vigo sit above Elche in the table with better defensive numbers (0.9 GA per game, 3 clean sheets) though their injury list is severe, most notably missing Aspas and several other key players, which levels the gap considerably. Elche are leaking 2.4 goals per game and have no clean sheets, but Celta face a Europa League fixture just four days after this match, raising rotation risk for the away side. The contest is tight enough to make the draw the marginally most likely single outcome, yet Celta's superior defensive record and slightly stronger league position edges them ahead as overall favourites.
