Elche form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first La Liga 2 game of the season here at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. Last season these fans witnessed 3 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses from Elche's 19 home games.

The supporters are hoping that Elche will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Eibar (placed 14th). Boyé, a forward, was the best player for the team in that match, receiving a rating of 7.8 (out of 10). Boyé scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times and had 23 successful passes (of 27 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Racing Ferrol that was lost 0-1.

Elche has scored {0 goals} so far and conceded {1 goals} from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Villarreal II form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the La Liga 2 ended in defeat. Last season Villarreal II had these away match statistics: Played 21; won 4, drew 5 and lost 12.

The regulars enjoyed Villarreal's previous game versus Eldense (placed 13th), a 3-1 win played at home. Ontiveros got a match rating of 8.85 in that game, top player of the team. Ontiveros signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Real Zaragoza wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Villarreal II playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 4 home wins.

It's early days yet, but Villarreal II has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - four - four (Elche wins - draws - Villarreal II wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
