Villarreal Preview – Can Villarreal break stalemate?
Villarreal have drawn each of their opening four matches of this new La Liga season with stalemates against Granada, Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Mallorca respectively, and this has placed them in the bottom half of the division in 14th place.
The hosts will be on home turf though for this upcoming clash against Elche and although recent results at home have been questionable, Villarreal did record a comprehensive 4-0 rout of Sevilla towards the end of last season at home.
Villarreal are also unbeaten in their last nine meetings against Elche so the hosts will be confident they can pick up their first win of the season here.
Elche Preview – Can Elche produce stubborn resistance?
Elche have lost just once so far in this season’s La Liga campaign which came in the shape of a 1-0 loss away at Atletico Madrid but a 1-0 win on the road at Getafe along with draws with Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla and Levante have given them a reasonable start.
However, results away from home have on the whole been pretty poor as Elche have won just two of their last 19 away games in La Liga and have lost 13 of these games as well, so they face a tough outing to Villarreal on Wednesday night.
In addition, Elche have kept just two clean sheets in these 19 away games.
