Form Guide
Elche
LWWWL
Elche, from the Alicante province, have been in mixed form over the course of this campaign in terms of performances. With context to their impressive three-game winning streak which has now met its end owing to the 3-1 defeat suffered on the road to Celta Vigo in their last encounter. At the Martínez Valero, their survival fight and the passionate local support makes them competitive hosts.
Alaves
DDLWL
Alavés, the Basque-Navarrese club from Vitoria-Gasteiz have navigated a rather difficult campaign in the Spanish top-flight this season and are now closer to seeing the drop than a survival spot. They arrive at this fixture occupying 18th place on the log with just a miserly 36 points accumulated from 34 rounds of fixtures this season. Away at the Martínez Valero in a direct survival six-pointer, both sides know what losing means. Their latest encounter which ended in a 4-2 defeat against Athletic Bilbao offers them little in terms of confidence.
Prediction
A survival six-pointer where both sides must attack, over 1.5 goals is the natural expectation in one of La Liga's most pressure-filled Saturday encounters.
