Valencia are unbeaten in their last five matches at home in La Liga having recorded four draws and one win at Estadio de Mestalla.
 
"We are very satisfied, I am very happy with the behaviour of the team. We came here with players missing, with players like [Cristiano] Piccini who has not played for a long time, with Hugo Guillamón who returned to central defence," Valencia manager Jose Bordalas said after the win over Celta.
 
"Today the team were able to suffer and put in a good showing, and this is the image we want to give off. We started in an adverse way with a goal that we practically gave away: Koba wanted to play a nutmeg on the wing, Alderete got overconfident and we were pickpocketed. 
 
"The team knew how to react. We suffered a little more than necessary, but I prefer to focus on the behaviour of the players and I want to congratulate them, as this is the way forward."

Meanwhile, Elche claimed a 3-1 win over Cadiz at home in their previous league encounter which was played on December 5.
 
The Green-Stripped Ones are now undefeated in their last two matches in this competition having recorded one draw and one win. 
 
Elche are winless in their six away matches in La Liga having registered four draws and two defeats as the visitors. 
 
The last meeting between Valencia and Elche in a league match was on 30 January 2021.
 
Valencia claimed a 1-0 win over Elche in a match that was played at the Estadio de Mestalla which is the 8th-largest stadium in Spain.
