Villarreal are looking to record back-to-back wins for the second time this season when they host Elche in La Liga on Saturday. Two points separate the two sides, with Villarreal on eight, in 11th place, while Elche are 18th. This hasn’t been a great season for Villarreal so far but coming off three wins in four games, our prediction backs them to prevail here.
Last time out in La Liga, Villarreal lost 1-0 to Real Madrid. They, however, recovered with a win in the Champions League, beating Napoli 3-1 in midweek.
Clean sheets are still eluding Villarreal; they have none this season but only failed to score in two of their 10 games.
Elche will want to take advantage of their opponents’ poor run in defence. Across their last seven meetings with Villarreal, Elche failed to score just once, and that will be a good starting point here.
The visitors have, however, not done well in previous meetings with Villarreal, especially in away trips. Heading into this encounter, they lost four times in five away matches against Villarreal and drew once.
In their last outing, Elche posted a 0-0 draw at home against Celta Vigo. That marked a second undefeated outing, having bagged their first win of the season before the international break.

Our Villarreal vs Elche Prediction
In the last seven meetings with Villarreal, Elche failed to score in just one, a game they lost 4-0 in. Coming here, Villarreal are favorites after their performances in recent outings. They will be looking to record only their fourth win of the season in all competitions.
The hosts do not have a good record in defence and in this fixture particularly, both teams scored in the last three. Villarreal are expected to come here all guns blazing as they put behind them a frustrating recent run. They don’t seem likely to keep a clean sheet, and our prediction for Villarreal v Elche is for Villarreal to win and BTTS.
