Barcelona Preview – Can Barcelona extend unbeaten run?
Barcelona have put together an impressive 13-match unbeaten run in La Liga as they prepare for the visit of Elche at their Nou Camp ground and having won 10 of these 13 matches, Barcelona look to be in the driving seat for all three points here.
This sustained run of positive results has helped Barcelona into the top four of La Liga but there’s still work for the hosts to do as they have the likes of Real Sociedad looking to make up ground if Barcelona slip up.
An overall home record of 7-4-1 29/13 suggests that the hosts should be too strong for Elche here though as they’ve won seven of their last 10 matches on home turf and have won the last six meetings on the trot against their visitors too.
Elche Preview – Can Elche climb out of bottom three?
Elche finally ended their drought in La Liga on the weekend when they registered a 1-0 home win against Eibar which ended a poor run of 16 matches without success but it wasn’t enough to lift the visitors out of the relegation zone.
Elche are actually level on points with fourth from bottom outfit, Eibar, but the prospects of an away win against an in-form Barcelona seem remote at best as Elche are without an away win from their last eight matches, losing five of these.
Losses at Real Betis, Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Valencia and Celta Vigo also underline the problems that Elche have had and they’re expected to have their work cut out on Wednesday night.
