Cádiz form and stats

With 1 La Liga win, 4 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Cádiz are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Elche form and stats

Elche have only collected 2 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 0-2-6 (8 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Elche who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Espanyol was the last time a defeat was avoided.

The attacking players of Elche have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 254 minutes.

Elche might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Celta de Vigo proved too strong as Elche slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. It's not a good sign for Elche that their goalie Badía made six saves in the Celta de Vigo fixture, but still could not stop a beating. Gumbau got a match rating of 7.84 in that game, top player of the team. Gumbau hit three key passes and had 35 successful passes (of 41 total).

A loss, in the Copa Del Rey away at Ceuta, earlier. Elche are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

The attacking power of Elche when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Elche manager Díez has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels. When Elche is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 2 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Celta de Vigo, Sevilla, Real Valladolid, Almería, Elche and Espanyol.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Cádiz four wins, three draws and Elche three victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
