The 2026/27 LaLiga campaign begins for Barcelona this weekend. After missing out last weekend, Hansi Flick's men will begin their title defense with a game away to Elche. On paper, this is clearly a winnable game for the defending champions, but the hosts were very tought to beat on home soil last time, rarely losing, so we shouldn't completely dismiss the men coached by Martin Anselmi.
This is a game where both teams look more likely to do damage than the early odds suggest. The hosts have the benefit of already having played a league game, in which they showed plenty of offensive promise, scoring a nice goal. They also scored with regularity at home last season, adopting a free-flowing approach that often worked well against the more open teams, such as Barcelona. When the teams met at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero back in January, both teams found the net. Betting on the same outcome is wise at odds of -125.

Our Elche vs Barcelona Prediction
We're talking about an Elche team that often thrived offensively against the better teams at home last season. When they faced Barca, sure, they came unstuck defensively, conceding four goals, but they created plenty, so much so that they could easily have scored more than the one goal that they did notch. Everything about that effort points towards both teams finding the net on Sunday, as does the way Elche's first LaLiga game of this new season unfolded. 'Both Teams to Score' is a solid option.
