Elche vs Villarreal predictions and odds: Breaking the score warehouse

Elche is counting down to the day of boarding the train back and forth to the 2nd division. Although this is the first round of the second leg, the team under coach Pablo Machín does not know what it feels like to win. Their best record is 6 draws, the rest are all losses.

In the last round, which took place last weekend, Elche lost to Sevilla with a score of 0-3. With this result, Elche was far behind the safety group with a distance of 14 points. This is a gap that is not easy to fill in the context that Machín's teachers and students have not shown any signs of improvement.

The confrontation with Villarreal of course does not promise many positive things for Elche. Villarreal is the team that battered them 4-0 in the first leg. It was a match where Elche could only stand until the 25th minute before letting go of the white flag in the face of intense attacks from the opponent.

Currently, Villarreal is racing at full speed for a place in the top 4. Therefore, they will not miss the opportunity to pocket an extra 3 points when facing the team that is considered a point store for the rest.
