Elche Preview – Can Elche make their mark?
Despite narrowly avoiding relegation in 2020-21, Elche ended last year in 13th place in La Liga and the hosts will be eager to emulate that finish this season as they prepare for their opening home game of this new La Liga term.
Elche won their last home game of last season when they beat Getafe 3-1 and the hosts will be seeking more of the same on Monday night against an Almeria outfit whom they’re unbeaten against in their last three meetings, winning the last two on the trot.
Almeria Preview – Can Almeria produce response?
It’s been seven years since Almeria were last participating in the Spanish top flight and although they headed into last week’s season opener against Real Madrid on the back of sealing automatic promotion from La Liga 2, it was not a winning start for Monday’s visitors.
A 2-1 defeat at home to Real Madrid not only saw Almeria off to a bad start but it also extended their winless run in the domestic top flight to six matches, five of which have been defeats so this upcoming trip to Elche may well be a tough evening for the visitors.
