Elche will be looking for their first win of the season when they play host to Getafe at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.

The hosts are currently sitting at the bottom of the table having picked up just four points from their opening 11 games, while the visitors are 17th on 10 points from 11 matches.

Elche are in their third straight campaign at this level of football, which represents the club’s best run in La Liga since the late 1970s, so it is a successful period in their history.

However, Jorge Almiron’s side could be in for a difficult campaign, as they have picked up just four points so far this season, leaving them at the bottom of the division.

Los Franjiverdes still have more than enough time to rise up the table though, and they can take encouragement from the fact that just one defeat has come in their last four games, with the loss coming at home to Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Getafe are operating at the Spanish top flight for the sixth straight season, but they have finished 15th in their last two campaigns and are currently towards the bottom of the division.

The Deep Blue Ones have not won in the league since defeating Osasuna 2-0 in the middle of September, but they have drawn their last three against Rayo Vallecano, Athletic Bilbao and Celta Vigo.

Quique Sanchez Flores’ side have some key matches before the break for the World Cup, following this fixture with matches against Cadiz and Almeria, which could go a long way to determining how their campaign will shape up, with game against the teams around them in the table likely to be vital.

However, Getafe have not beaten Elche in La Liga since January 2021, and they lost both league matches between the sides last season.

Elche news

Elche will again be missing the services of Javier Pastore, Federico Fernandez and Fidel, but they are hopeful that Helibelton Palacios will overcome a hamstring problem in time.

Alex Collado, Omar Mascarell and Raul Guti should feature as the midfield three, with Pere Milla and Lucas Boye starting in the final third.

Getafe news

Munir El Haddadi and Mauro Arambarri are out with hamstring and ankle injuries respectively, but Fabricio Angileri is expected to be cleared to play following a concussion.

Flores will be able to recall Carles Alena, while Enes Unal and Borja Mayoral are again set to feature as the front two.

Prediction and Odds

Both teams have been drawing several matches in recent weeks, and we are finding it difficult to separate them here.

Elche won both games between the two sides last season, but the hosts are yet to win a game this season, and we can see them settling for a share of the spoils.
