Only a few games have been played in the La Liga so far, with Deportivo Alavés placed 17th and Elche sitting in the 16th position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Deportivo Alavés form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Deportivo Alavés so far this season.
Alavés's last game was hosting Athletic Club (placed 19th) and winning 1-0. Before that, Alavés had a home game versus Athletic Club which ended with a victory 1-0.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of P. Machín Díez when Rodrigo Ely scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 65th minute.
Alavés have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. As for guarding their own goal, Deportivo Alavés have only let in 1 goal at home.
Elche form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the La Liga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 8 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats from 21 matches. Elche have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
180 minutes! That's how long the Elche goalkeeper Edgar Badia Guardiola and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
There were no winners in Elche's previous match, a La Liga home game that ended 0-0 vs Huesca (placed 15th). Preceding that game was the away victory against SD Eibar with the score of 1-0.
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 Elche playing away, we found five games. Results were two away wins, two draws and one home win.
1 goal so far away for Elche, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
As for the last nine games between these two teams, there's two Alavés victories, three draws and four Elche wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
