Elche are going through a tough spell at the moment. They haven't won any of their last five games, and they've lost three of them. Their fans will be worried because the team is struggling to pick up points and confidence seems low.

Espanyol have been a bit more mixed. They've won two of their last five matches, but they've also lost two, so they haven't been consistent. When these two teams meet, it's often a tight game with goals. The last three matches between them have all ended in draws, and two of those finished 2-2, suggesting it could be an open, closely-fought contest. Considering Elche's poor form and Espanyol's slightly better record, Espanyol are the most likely winners here.
