Insights:
  • Real Valladolid have the fewest clean sheets (3) in La Liga

Elche have less rest than Real Valladolid in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Osasuna, so at least Elche are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
