Elche Team News
Elche is the only team in La Liga without a win after 19 games. The home team has 6 draws and 13 losses, so we have to say that they have negatively surprised most football fans. Especially since only a year earlier, they were a very organized team that did not worry about survival in the league.
In the last 5 matches, they got a little “serious,” bearing in mind that they won 2 points, but they conceded as many as 8 goals, so we can’t say many nice words about their current form. As they will compete in Segunda next season, we really don’t see what kind of motivation the football players of this team can have for the rest of the season. And that can affect their results in the second part of the season.
Villarreal Team News
Villarreal received a severe slap at home this Monday. Rayo Vallecano was better with a score of 1:0, and that defeat removed the “yellow submarine” from the fight for the Champions League. The space for another eventual failure has drastically reduced, so Villarreal must correct the last round’s mistake.
Regarding the current form, Villarreal won 10 points in the previous 5 matches, and the series of good results was interrupted by the defeat in the last round. We must mention that Villareal is a team that likes “tougher” games, and the 6 scored, and 4 conceded goals in the last 5 games show that. They have conceded too many goals lately for their standards, and it is time for them to get back to their familiar rhythm.
H2H
The results of the duels between these teams are mixed, and no trend is visible. In the first part of this season, Villarreal was better at home with 4:0.
Injuries and suspensions
Elche: Alamo, Bigas, Collado, Tete Morente, Chetauya.
Villarreal: Jackson, Lo Celso, Pedraza.
Elche vs Villarreal Prediction
If Villarreal wants to stay competitive in the fight for the Champions League, they must triumph in this match. In the last round, we could see that Villarreal could not come back to life after conceding a goal. So, the defense will have to be the key to the guests’ potential success.
We believe that the visitors will not be able to reach 3 points if the Elche team, by any chance, scores a goal. As Villarreal, with only 14 conceded goals, has the second-best defensive performance in the league, we will give confidence to their defenders, and we think it will be a serious misfortune if the visitors’ defense capitulates against a weak Elche.
Our prediction: 0-1,0-2,0-3
