Basement side Elche will be gunning for a first win of the season in their trip to Espanyol this Friday. Espanyol will be looking to move closer to the European football slots, and this match offers that chance for the eighth-placed side. As they are unbeaten in six against Elche, our prediction will back Espanyol to win here.
The last six matches, three of which ended in draws, don’t fully reflect Espanyol’s dominance in this fixture. Espanyol have actually lost once in their last 18 home matches against Elche, winning 11 of them.
That will be the tonic they need here to recover from a 2-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano in midweek.
The extended international break coming up will be crucial for Elche to strategize after a poor start to the campaign. They will want to go there off the back of a win, but the head-to-head numbers here don’t favor the visitors.
A brave battle against Real Madrid last time out is an indicator Elche’s days of suffering may be coming to an end. Though they lost 3-2, fighting from 2-0 down only to concede a third in stoppage time says a lot about their team spirit.
All that fight but being bottom on two points doesn’t augur well with Martin Anselmi’s work at the club, and he will be asking more of his charges.
