Match preview
They looked in serious danger not so long ago, but Elche are now safe from relegation.
Francisco's side won back-to-back games in April, beating Mallorca and then Real Betis, before a respectable 1-1 draw with Osasuna.
However, since then, los Franjiverdes have actually lost back-to-back games, 3-0 to Cádiz and then 2-0 to Atlético Madrid on Wednesday.
Nevertheless, Elche are six points clear of danger and, given than they have a superior head-to-head against Mallorca, they can't be caught.
Celta de Vigo meanwhile are only three places and four points better off than their visitors.
Eduardo Coudet's side were hammered 3-1 by Barcelona on Tuesday night, going 3-0 down before Iago Aspas bagged a Camp Nou consolation.
So, O Celtiña have only won three of their last 13 games, although one of those victories came last weekend when they hammered Alavés.
Will there be a winner at Balaídos?
