Celta Vigo hosts Elche in round 23 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, February 12th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo)
At the turn of the 2000s, Celta Vigo was one of the league's top favorites, and now it does not always correspond to the status of the middle peasant. Under the leadership of Eduardo Coudet, the Sky Blues are ranked 10th in the standings, lagging nine points behind the European Cup zone. The team's problem is the weakness of the attacking line, where only Iago Aspas and Nolito are efficient enough. But the veterans of LaLiga have no proper support. However, Celta has high-level players around whom you can build a nice team. These are Tapia, Beltran, Mina, Araujo, Mendes, Mallo, and Blanco. In winter, Celta strengthened the squad with two Argentines (Solari and Ferreyra).

The newcomer to the elite division has huge difficulties in its matches in the elite. Elche now takes second place from the end of the standings and really claims to be relegated to Segunda. Such performance is hardly a surprise for Jorge Almiron's charges because they were initially considered as the main outsiders of the league. The team has not known the taste of victories for 15 rounds in a row, occasionally gaining points thanks to draws. Elche got the outsider status due to the weakness of the roster. New players were signed up throughout the season, but their quality and skill level did not always correspond to the status of the elite division. Such personalities as Guti, Josan, Fidel, and Josema are the leaders of modern Elche. If the team wants to stay in LaLiga, it will have to interrupt the streak without victories and stably gain points in the second part of the season.
Both clubs looked quite weak in the last rounds, but their prospects and ambitions are seriously different. Elche wants to maintain a place in the elite and show its ability to be among the best Spanish teams of our time. Celta is aiming for the European Cup zone and the return of former tournament ambitions. The hosts look like clear favorites of the upcoming match. And they have a good chance to score three points and improve their position in the championship standings.
Prediction for the match: Celta Vigo to win
