Last April, Elche beat Valencia 1-0 at home, and before that the two meetings ended 1-1 and 0-2 alternately. This time the two come in with Valencia trailing in several respects in the table, with only 6 points from 10 matches, while Elche have collected 10 points from the same number of matches. Elche just won 3-1 in the cup and won in the league 3-0 before that. The overall form is 2 wins, 4 draws, 4 losses, scoring 14 and conceding 17 in 10 matches, but lately the defense has started to settle, as seen from two consecutive matches that ended 0-0. Valencia, meanwhile, just lost 1-2 in the league in their latest match, and their season overall is 1 win, 3 draws, 6 losses, scoring only 7 goals from 10 matches while conceding 17. The attack is still not as threatening as the defense that has been leaky throughout. This game is likely to open cautiously, because both teams do not score frequently in the first half, especially Elche, who at home often start slowly and concede in the first half more often than expected. If Valencia can defend solidly and not concede first, they have a chance to take the game to the end unbeaten, which would be a more satisfactory result. The first thing to watch is how Valencia will cope with Elche's late attacking game, because Elche often score a lot in the 76-90 minute period.
