Seven of the last ten head to head games between these sides have produced three goals or more. Both teams have scored in six of Villarreal’s eight league matches and the same number for Elche. Villarreal hold a slight edge in the table but their form has been mixed with three wins in five games. Elche have shown they can pick up points on the road lately. The game could see Villarreal press forward early but leave spaces for Elche to exploit on breaks.
