Elche Is Not Satisfied with Its Position in the Table

Elche has had some challenging games amidst the chaos they face this season. One of them was against Real Madrid, in which they went out onto the field as equals, looking for at least a point, but left the field realizing it was not enough against the defending champions, who were overwhelming.

They have since put up a fight and shown improvement with a change of coach, but their burden is too heavy to overcome in a couple of matchdays.

In the Elche vs Celta de Vigo game, they need to win urgently.

Celta de Vigo’s Defeats Are Weighing Them Down

Celta de Vigo is watching from afar as it moves further away from the top and closer to the bottom.

The middle part of the table is tight with teams that are on par, separated by nothing but a single victory, or even just goal average points. For these, the meaning of even a single point is greater, as it can make all the difference.

Elche vs Celta de Vigo requires Los Celticos to win and climb the table to be at ease.
