An important duel in the bottom section of the La Liga, with both Real Valladolid and Elche experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 18th place.
- Real Valladolid have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Elche is in the worst form (0-2-4)
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Del Rey. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Peña Deportiva.
Real Valladolid form and stats
Real Valladolid's struggle is real here at Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla with only 9 points collected from 9 La Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-4. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Valladolid, their manager S. González Soriano and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Valladolid are returning here after visiting Peña Deportiva (after extra-time) in a Copa Del Rey game and winning with a 4-1 scoreline. Roque Mesa (2), Óscar Plano and Míchel Herrero scored the goal(s). Preceding that match was a La Liga defeat to Valencia (0-1).

Valladolid are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Elche form and stats
As the visiting team in La Liga matches, Elche have produced an overall stat of 2-2-3 so far. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Elche, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Valencia game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Elche has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a La Liga home defeat versus Getafe with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Ahead of that match was the victory versus La Nucia at their stadium, the result 1-0.
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, five draws and six defeats. From a total of 19 matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Elche as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Elche have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - five - two (Valladolid wins - draws - Elche wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
