Elche - Valladolid Match Preview

Elche hosts Valladolid in this Spanish La Liga football match.

Elche is currently the worst club in La Liga as they are in last place with only 12 points from 24 matches. They are 13 points away from 17th place and it will be really hard for them to avoid relegation this season. They have only 2 wins and those 2 wins came in the last 5 matches which can be a positive sign for them.

Valladolid played really well in the first part of the season. The World Cup break was bad for them as they lost 4 consecutive matches after the break. In the last match they won against Espanyol and that was a big win for them because now they are in 14th place with 27 points. The relegation battle is going to be really tough this season in La Liga and this is a very important match for the visitors. They got some important players back like El Yamiq who is their best defender and played great at the recent World Cup.

It will be a tough match and I don't expect a lot of goals here. Valladolid got back some very important players and that will be decisive in this match. Elche is playing better recently but still, that is far from a level that will secure their La Liga spot for the next season. Valladolid got an important win in the last match and that will give them extra confidence.
