After the break, Elche played three matches. On December 20, the hosts defeated Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey. Then, La Liga Elche lost away to Atletico 0:2. Five days later, they dropped out of the Copa del Rey because of a modest Ceuta 0:1. Before the 16th round, Elche was 20th in the standings, 9 points behind 17th Celta. Elche is the main contender for relegation, it is obvious. Their home stats are also the worst, 0=2-5, 4:13 goal difference. Note that Elche is one of the most aggressive teams in La Liga. At the moment, Elche has received 45 yellow cards and five red cards.

The other day Celta also dropped out of the Copa del Rey, losing in extra time to Espanyol 1:3, although the regulation time ended with a score of 1:1. Before that, Celta sealed a 1:1 draw with Sevilla. Their tournament placing could be better - 17th place, one point ahead of Sevilla. It is obvious that they are highly motivated, as if losing to Elche, the visitors may fall into the relegation zone. Celta's away statistics are 18th in the division, +1=1-5, 4:15 goal difference.

Celta looked set to win over Sevilla in the last round but had to settle for a draw. Elche's 20th place is a natural occurrence. Elche is an outsider in the division and the first candidate for relegation. Celta, as written above, may end up in the relegation zone if they cannot gain three points. They have a good chance of getting them.

The importance of the outcome for both teams can hardly be overestimated. Their offenses could be better, so we should expect few goals.
