Week 16 features a match on Fri Jan 6th, where Elche plays host to Celta de Vigo in a La Liga match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Elche is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Atlético Madrid. João Félix scored the first goal for Atlético Madrid in the 56th minute, then Morata added another in the 74th minute on a feed from Antoine Griezmann At the end of 90 a dissapointed Elche couldn’t manage to score, and Atlético Madrid took the shutout win. Elche looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10, while celta de Vigo sits at 17th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Sevilla. Veiga Novas scored the first goal for Celta de Vigo in the 33rd minute, but Enrique Jesus Salas Valiente got the equalizer for Sevilla in the 54th minute earning Sevilla at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Iago Aspas has been the most effective weapon for Celta de Vigo lately. The Spanish attacker has netted three goals in his last five matches. Elche is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Roger Martí and Ezequiel Ponce each having 2 goals in their last five.
