Elche - Celta Vigo

Fer Nino remains the focal point of the Elche attack as the hosts prepare to welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio Martinez Valero on 11 October 2026 for this LaLiga matchday 8 encounter. Nino is expected to start alongside Tete Morente in a side looking to build on their recent 3-1 victory over Espanyol. Despite the suspension of Federico Redondo, the home side will look to maintain their attacking intent, having shown a willingness to trade goals in recent weeks, including a narrow 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid.

Celta Vigo arrive in high spirits following a dominant 5-0 win against Racing Santander. While they will be without the injured Miguel Roman and Carl Starfelt, the visitors look to build on a solid defensive foundation that has seen them hold opponents to draws in several recent league outings. With Hugo Alvarez providing a constant threat up front, the match promises to be a tactical battle between Elche's aggressive approach and Celta's disciplined structure.
