- Elche have the most dropped points from leading position (9) in La Liga

Preceding that match was the home game against Real Betis that was lost 0-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Alavés are traveling soon after this match as the La Liga match at Barcelona awaits in four days.
Alavés have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.
Elche form and stats
1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Elche playing as the away team in the La Liga this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Elche's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Elche played 2-2 against Espanyol in their previous match. The draw against Espanyol came from a losing position. The Elche manager F. Escriba Segura brought on Darío Benedetto as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level. The attacker Lucas Boyé got a match rating of 7.44 in that game. Boyé scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times.
A 1-2 defeat away at Rayo Vallecano before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Elche playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Elche wins, one draw and four defeats.
After this away game Elche return home for a La Liga game against Real Madrid. That game is only four sleeps after this.
