Elche involved in the relegation battle
Elche is currently placed on the 18th position. The last win of Elche took part on 23th, October against Valencia (2-1). Since then the team has recorded 4 losses and 6 draws. Elche should change dramatically their approach in the game in order to start winning more often. Otherwise, the team is cursed to relegate from La Liga.
Getafe’s decline
Getafe was a participant in Europa League last season and made a prominent debut. The current season has not been one of the decent for the team. Getafe is only 1 point ahead of Elche staying on the 17th position. The team is struggling to score a single goal in the last three games. The good news for the team is that Carles Alena joined the club on a loan deal till the end of the season.
The Verdict
We think that both teams have nothing to lose and should play the game in a more open and direct way. We assume it is not typical for both teams to attack constantly and search for the goal but seeing 2 or more goals tonight is very likely to happen.
