Elche are coming off a hard-fought 3-1 victory at Espanyol, their most impressive performance in over five months.
Despite being the pregame underdogs, the Valencia-based side were reduced to 10 men as early as the sixth minute, but still triumphed on the road, earning their first win.
Only one team has conceded more goals than Elche in La Liga this season.
Interestingly, the hosts have earned five points this season, which have all come on the road. They have lost all three of their home games and are 18th in the Spanish top flight.
Head coach Martin Anselmi has no new injury concerns, although Yago Santiago, is still sidelined with a knee injury. Fernando Nino has five goals in his last five appearances and is expected to lead the charge once again.
Like their opponents, Celta Vigo are coming off their first win of the season, as they cruised to a comfortable 5-0 victory over Racing Santander in their last outing.
While the visitors are now hunting for their first away win, it is worth mentioning that they have not been beaten on the road, as all their away matches so far have ended in stalemates.
No team has conceded fewer goals than Celta Vigo in the Spanish top flight.
Claudio Giraldez will have to do without Carl Starfelt (hamstring), Andres Antanon (ankle), Miguel Roman (knee), and Jones El-Abdellaoui (knee).
Celta have been the dominant side in recent clashes between these sides, having won five of the last six H2Hs. However, they lost their last trip to this stadium.
