Following their big wins against RC Deportivo and Atlético Madrid, RC Celta are once again in buoyant mood. While Eduardo Berizzo's players have recaptured their form from the beginning of the season, their upcoming opponents for matchday 25 of the Liga BBVA are currently going through their most erratic patch of results of the campaign so far. Elche CF sit outside the relegation zone with 23 points and a victory against the Galicians would see them extend their lead over 18th placed to four points.

Team news
Carles Planas and Borja Oubiña will miss this game for Celta due to injury, while Sergi Gómez and Lévy Madinda have been left out of the squad because of a technical decision. For his part, Fran Escribá has named an 18-man squad for this match; the Valencia-born manager will be without first choice striker Jonathas de Jesus, as well as Pedro Mosquera and Enzo Roco.

Views from the dugouts
"I'm very grateful to be training a team that give their all and are extremely motivated on a daily basis", is how Berizzo referred to his players. His counterpart in the opposite dugout spoke about the difficulties involved with trying to stay up: "It will demand a lot of us, we are going to keep fighting right until the last game of the season, but we are ready to fulfil our objective".
