Celta Vigo pulled a nice upset on the road against Atletico Madrid but still remain win-less in 2021. They will look to change that on Friday when they will play host to Elche. Elche are also coming off a draw but they too are on a win-less streak.

Celta Vigo (6-8-8) took the lead on the road against Atletico Madrid but found themselves down by 1-2 at the start of the second half. Even so, they scored a late goal and grabbed a nice point from that 2-2 draw.  They now have three consecutive draws and are win-less in their last seven (0-4-3), after going undefeated in their previous seven (6-0-1). Celta Vigo are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 26 points, scoring 26 and conceding 33 goals. They have a 5-4-1 record at home, losing just one of their last six (4-1-1).

Elche (3-8-9) came back from two goals behind to eventually split the points in a 2-2 draw at home against Villarreal last week. They have not been very good lately, going win-less in their last six (0-4-2). Their last league win came back in October 23rd (0-8-7 ever since) but they did record two Cup wins in that span. Elche are sitting at the penultimate spot of the La Liga with 18 points, just two below the red line. They have not been anything special on the road so far (2-4-3), scoring 8 and conceding 11 goals.

The two teams split the points in a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, which was the 6th consecutive match between the two with Under 2.5 Goals. Elche have actually been “solid” in this venue over the years (2-1-6), with both teams scoring in eight of those matches. Celta Vigo are much better than what their recent streak suggests and should be able to return to winning ways here.
