Elche are welcoming SD Eibar for another important game after their 1-3 result against 9th-placed Celta de Vigo.
- Elche have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- SD Eibar has the most dropped points from leading position (16) in La Liga
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.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Elche form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the La Liga this season. Elche have only managed 1 win, 6 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 16 attempts. With eight home La Liga games in a row without a win, the Elche fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Valencia game long ago, can be stopped today.
In their previous game, the manager J. Almirón Quintana led his Elche to a defeat in the La Liga match away at Celta de Vigo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. In the match before that, Elche hosted Villarreal and drew the game 2-2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Elche as they are travelling to their away game against Barcelona in the La Liga. That match is four days after this one.
Elche have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Elche defense is not exactly impregnable. 17 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
