Elche form and stats
2 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Elche have to build on here at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero in the La Liga.
The fans are hoping that Elche will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the La Liga game against FC Barcelona (placed 7th). Midfielder Morente was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.91 (out of ten) in that game. Morente scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Unionistas de Salamanca and winning 1-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Elche perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Elche as a small favourite), we find nine games. Elche has won two of these, drawn four and lost three.
The manager Rodríguez Vílchez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Almeria in only four days.
