Elche form and stats

Elche's struggle is real here at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero with only 7 points collected from 7 La Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-2. Elche are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, having lost their two previous games here.

Happy days for Elche in their previous game, a Copa Del Rey match away at Leioa that ended with a 2-0 victory. Elche goalkeeper Kiko Casilla did an outstanding job against Leioa with eight saves, so vital to securing the victory. Kiko Casilla, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.81 out of 10 in that game. Casilla stopped the opponent with eight saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

1-1 away at Osasuna before that.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Elche have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost zero.

Elche have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. 9 goals have been conceded.

Cádiz form and stats

Playing away, Cádiz have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 3 defeats in the La Liga this season.

Two travels in a row for Cádiz, whose manager Á. Cervera Díaz could celebrate last time after the Copa Del Rey win against Villa de Fortuna. As mentioned above, Cádiz was the only team on the pitch versus Villa de Fortuna in their previous game, winning 7-0. This could be a tougher task. Álvaro Negredo certainly enjoyed Cádiz's last game versus Villa de Fortuna, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 7-0 victory. The attacker Álvaro Negredo got a match rating of 9.9 in that game. Negredo scored three goals, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

A loss against Atletico Madrid was the result prior to that, in a La Liga home game.

Cádiz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of seven matches.

Cádiz find the net regularly in their away games. 8 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. The Cádiz manager Á. Cervera Díaz has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Elche-Cádiz H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Elche two wins, Cádiz five wins, three draws. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
