The chase for a hat trick of La Liga titles sees Barcelona start the quest at Elche. While the champions will be kicking off their campaign, Elche started off with a hard-fought draw. Whether friendly or competitive, this match rarely goes against Barcelona, and our prediction will tip just that.
Elche’s last win in this fixture dates back to 1974. Last season they contributed six points to Barcelona’s title-winning campaign, courtesy of identical 3-1 defeats.
Still, there were positives to pick, having scored in both games. In the earlier two meetings, Elche had lost to nil. The hosts battled to a 1-1 draw with promoted side Deportivo La Coruña and come here unbeaten in seven La Liga games at home.
Barcelona will be gunning for another successful domestic season, coming into this one with a bolstered squad after summer additions. They haven’t won three straight Liga titles since Pep Guardiola left, but few can argue against the current group doing it.
Barça welcomes Anthony Gordon and Rodri, key additions in midfield, but have to deal with key exits as well. Ferran Torres and Robert Lewandowski have left.
History dictates that the two will not immediately be missed, as Barcelona have 14 wins in their last 17 season-opening matches.

Our Elche vs Barcelona Prediction
Going by their form last season, Barcelona should be sailing to another league title. There are very few teams that can match their strength at the moment, and Elche are definitely not on the list. One area Elche will want to build on, though, is their scoring consistency in this fixture.
They scored in the last two meetings with Barcelona while reducing the margin of defeat, which is truly positive. Barcelona, however, are still the team to beat. Our prediction for Elche v Barcelona is for Barcelona to win & BTTS.
