Elche form and stats

Elche have only collected 10 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 2-4-10 (16 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

Elche are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is eight wins, four draws and eight defeats. From a total of 20 matches.

After this away game Elche return home for a La Liga game against Real Valladolid. That game is only three sleeps after this.
