Barcelona

The team in 2024 remained without trophies, and Xavi paid for it with his position – his cult status as a football player and previous coaching merits did not help. He was replaced by Flick and, although it was his first experience in Spain, it turned out brilliantly: he won every domestic trophy, and everywhere, in the Super Cup, in the Primera and finally in the final of the Copa del Rey, Real were convincingly defeated.

Now, in the last round, the Madrid giant took a confident revenge. At the same time, both before and during the match, Yamal perfectly showed why so many are criticizing now. There are other problems – with the stadium, with finances, and with personnel. Therefore, it is not surprising that the defeat in El Clasico was not the first failure of the season, which was worth the failure in the Champions League with PSG. However, the class is enough to still win most of the matches.

Elche

The club changes divisions quite often. And after another flight to Segunda, he was expected to return. Only the day before last, they finished there with a modest eleventh place. Instead, in the summer of 2024, Eder Sarabia appeared as a coach. And with him, it was possible to show a sharp progress, as a result, securing access to La Liga.

Moreover, already at this, higher level, a lot comes out. Suffice it to say that the newcomer has only lost to Alaves and Espanyol. It is disconcerting that both setbacks occurred in October, and there has already been talk that the positive initial momentum has already been exhausted. Let’s see if the cup 4-0 against Los Garres inspires.

Statistics of personal meetings

The last time Elche drew a match with the giant was in 2014. After that, ten official matches always ended with victories for the Catalans.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not believe that the leader will allow the second misfire in a row. The hosts are simply obliged to win – we bet on them with a handicap of -1.5 goals (coefficient – 1.63).
