On Saturday, Valencia faces Elche for a match of the 20th day of La Liga. Valencia must increase their lead on the red zone while Elche intends to come out.
Present in the European race not so long ago, FC Valence is clearly missing its subject this season. Far from it, he is in 14th position in the standings and has only 3 points ahead of the first relegation. Since their last victory against Valladolid (0-1), Javi Gracia’s players had to share the points with Osasuna (1-1) then they could not avoid the return of Atlético Madrid (3-1) Sunday night. Finally, this week, they were largely beaten by Sevilla FC in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (3-0).
Opposite, the situation is hardly optimistic on the Elche side. After having deluded a few weeks at the start of the season, the club was overtaken by its weaknesses and it now finds itself in the red zone, in 19th place. However, it is not over for the promoted ones who are only 2 points behind the first non-relegation. After being beaten by Bilbao (1-0) then by Getafe (1-3), the Franjiverdes stopped this bad spiral by taking a point against Valladolid (2-2). But last week, they relapsed by bowing to FC Barcelona (0-2).
If we put aside the keeper Cillessen who is still injured, everyone should be on deck for Valencia. With 6 goals, midfielder Carlos Soler is the club’s most prolific player ahead of Uruguayan striker Gomez (5 goals).
Elche should make the trip without the top scorer Fidel (4 goals) and the former Monegasque Carrillo who is out of form. Too fair to start against Barcelona, the striker Tete Morante (2 goals) and the important Mfulu could make their return in the starting 11.
The match will be played behind closed doors.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
Elche surprised Valencia (2-1) in the first leg.
With 16 goals scored in 20 games, Elche only has the 19th attack in La Liga.
Valencia can take advantage of receiving an opponent in difficulty on the offensive plan to revive and win. Valencia FC victory!
