Out-of-form Espanyol travel to play relegation-threatened Elche this weekend in the Spanish La Liga. After 25 rounds of play, the visitors enter the weekend in seventh place in the standings, 10 points ahead of their 17th-placed hosts. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Elche haven’t won in nine games across all competitions. This run has seen them eliminated from the Copa del Rey and is now threatening their top-flight stay. Los Franjiverdes are just one point above the relegation zone with 13 games left to play.
Eder Sarabia’s men, who have accumulated 25 points, have managed just five wins with another 10 ending in a share of the spoils. Elche lost 2-1 away to Athletic Club last time out, with the setback their sixth in this nine-game winless run.
Espanyol are also arriving for this fixture with a lengthy winless run of their own. The visitors haven’t won any of their last eight games, and only twice in this stretch have they avoided defeat.
This alarming run of results has seen the Catalan club fall in the race for Europe come next season. Periquitos have been stuck on 35 points and are now two points adrift of the top six.
Manolo Gonzalez’s men, who won by a solitary goal in the reverse game against Elche, are coming off a 4-2 loss away to Atletico Madrid.
