Elche, Recent FormThe Elche squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Eibar, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 51% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Eibar managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Lucas Boyé will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Elche.
Villarreal B, Recent FormVillarreal B will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 home win against Eldense. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Eldense's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Miguel Álvarez will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Villarreal B, Dani Tasende will be looking to add more goals against Elche in this match.
It was not a positive ending for Elche last time they met Villarreal B in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, Mini Submarino Amarillo have been unable to break through the Elche defence and find the back of the net.
With no real injury worries, Elche manager Sebastián Beccacece will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Villarreal B manager Miguel Álvarez has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
