The last four meetings between these two have all witnessed draws, including a 2-2 at Son Moix in November. None of their last nine encounters have produced away wins, with Elche only winning one of these fixture, a 1-0 victory in 2016.

Under 2.5 goals is 8/15.

Pere Milla is 6/1 to break the deadlock and 12/5 to score anytime.

Two of La Liga’s bottom six go head-to-head in a crucial clash in Elx.

Of the two, Elche are better placed to survive, although their form is concerning.

Last weekend, los Franjiverdes were beaten 2-1 by Real Sociedad at home, despite taking a third minute lead through Guido Carrillo.

RCD Mallorca meanwhile leapt out the relegation zone with a, potentially, crucial victory last Saturday.

Los Bermellones beat reigning champions Atlético Madrid 1-0 at Son Moix thanks to Vedat Muriqi’s penalty mid-way through the second half.

Before this, Mallorca had lost seven consecutive matches, but claimed three vital points in, what was, just Javier Aguirre’s second match in charge.

So, these two start the weekend above the dreaded dotted line, but both need three more points to help their cause to stay there.

Who will win a massive game at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero?

Franciso continues to tinker with his front line, searching for the perfect combination.

Guido Carrillo and Pere Milla got the nod last weekend, but Ezequiel Ponce and Josan are viable alternatives with main man Lucas Boyé injured.

After a win last weekend, there isn’t much reason for Javier Aguirre to change too much.

This is bad news for Takefusa Kubo who was once again left on the bench with Kang-in Lee the surprise inclusion, partnering Vedat Muriqi.
