Prediction: 2-0
Elche
Wednesday’s football game at Estadio de Balaidos pits together Celta Vigo and Elche, the two teams who were beaten by Real Madrid and Valencia respectively at the weekend. Os Celeste are safe for now, with the being six points clear of the relegation zone, but Carlos Carvalhal must warn his men against complacency. Hugo Mallo is back from suspension, whereas Diego Alves, Oscar Mingueza, and Agustin Marchesin remain in the recovery room.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, will compete in Segunda Division next term, and given their dreadful losing run in the Spanish top flight, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. Both Helibelton Palacios and Jose Angel Carmona are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side. Pedro Bigas has joined them in the recovery room, with fellow defender Lautaro Blanco likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Hugo Mallo):
Hugo Mallo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Celta Vigo as a full back. Mallo, who is a capable of playing at centre back if needed, was born in Marin on 22 June, 1991 and he has been playing for Os Celeste since 2009.
During his youth career Hugo Mallo played for the likes of Porvir and Pontevedra, but he made the biggest progress at Celta Vigo. The Celta defender has three caps for Spain U21 team and he played for the U19 and the U20 teams as well in the past. On 9 January, 2013, Mallo suffered a serious knee injury and, as a result, he was forced to miss the rest of the season.
The right-footed player has a contract with Celta Vigo which expires on 30 June, 2019. You should bear in mind that he scored one goal in 34 appearances for the Galician outfit in the 2015/2016 Primera Division campaign. In the 2014/2015 campaign he scored four goals for Celta in the national championship.
Highlighted Team (Elche):
Established in 1923, Elche is a Spanish club that competes in La Liga. Los Franjiverdes welcome their rivals at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, the stadium which can hold up to 33,732 spectators. The venue was opened on September 8, 1976.
Elche wear white shirts with green stripe and white shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The club’s biggest success came in 1969 as Elche made it to the Copa del rey final. Los Franjiverdes faced Club Atletico de Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final, with the Basques winning the match by one goal to nil.
The likes of Mario Pasalic, Ivan Bolado, Garry Rodrigues, Goran Djorovic, Albert Nadj, Wakaso, Moha, Carlos Sanchez, Ioan Andone, Enzo Roco, Dominique Malonga, Richmond Boakye, and Sory Kaba are some of the notable players who were part of the team in the past. Elche have never represented Spain in European competitions.
