Celta Vigo take on the visitors Elche in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 26th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo).
After two consecutive defeats in the championship, Celta have dropped a bit in the standings. And now, they are only six points away from the relegation zone. It's unlikely that the players from Vigo want to leave the fight for survival until the very end of the championship. In the home match against the weakest possible opponent, Carlos Carvalhal's team cannot afford to lose points. Out of nine victories in the current season, Celta has won five at home. I think a victory over the modest Elche will be the sixth for the "Celts."

The Elche players have long given up, as even mathematically, their chances of staying in La Liga are very small. The home defeat to Valencia (0-2) in the previous round was already the fifth in a row for the team. In these matches, Elche scored only one goal and conceded 12. Only Almeria looks worse than them in terms of away matches in the championship. In 15 away matches in La Liga, Elche suffered three defeats. In the last three of them, they didn't even score any points: 0-2 against Real Sociedad, 1-2 against Osasuna, and 0-2 against Girona. I think that the outsider won't even get a draw in Vigo.
No one will probably argue that in the home match against the worst team in La Liga, Celta players are the favorites. It's unlikely that the hosts will miss the opportunity to please their fans with a victory over the outsider and, at the same time, end their winless streak. Elche has long resigned itself to the fact that they will have to go through a cleansing process in Segunda in the new season. I doubt that Sebastian Beccacece's team can even get a draw in Vigo. And there shouldn't be many goals in this match. In the last five rounds, neither the hosts nor the visitors played over 2.5 goals. And throughout all 30 league matches, Celta has done this only four times, and Elche - twice. In the last two face-to-face meetings in Vigo, the hosts won 3-1 and 1-0. I think that a bet on a combination of W1+Under 4.5 will bring a plus in the next meeting of these teams.
Prediction for the match: Celta to win and Under 4.5 scored goals.
