Elche Preview – Can Elche bounce back?
Elche’s promising run of five games being unbeaten in La Liga was brought to an abrupt end last time out in the Spanish top flight when they were dealt a 2-0 defeat away from home at Sevilla but the hosts now return to home soil for this upcoming clash with Rayo Vallecano.
Elche will still feel confident about their chances in this fixture as they’ve won three of their last five games which includes victories over Espanyol, Villarreal and Alaves, while results at home have been pretty solid with Elche losing just two of their 11 home games to date.
Rayo Vallecano Preview – Can Vallecano stop the rot?
Friday’s visitors, Rayo Vallecano, have really struggled for results in La Liga in recent weeks as the visitors are without a win in five games overall and have lost four out of these five matches following defeats to Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Celta Vigo and Osasuna.
Nevertheless, Vallecano still remain in a mid-table position of 11th place on the La Liga ladder although the majority of their good work this season has been at home where they’ve won eight of their nine wins so far this term overall, and away from home they’re without a win in their last seven games.
