Elche form and stats
No La Liga points yet away for Elche, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Elche who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Almeria was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Elche are travelling again after losing away to Barcelona in their previous match (0-3). It is possibly a bad omen for Elche that their goalie Badía made six saves in the Barcelona match, but still couldn't stop a loss.
Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Athletic Club.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Elche playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 3 away wins, 1 draw and 2 home wins.
The Elche defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
