[La Liga Prediction] In a La Liga encounter on Saturday, Elche CF will square off against visiting team Barcelona at The Estadio Manuel Martnez Valero. Below are our Elche CF vs. Barcelona predictions, statistics, and poll for the match (plus the best game odds).

Elche vs Barcelona Prediction: Recent performance and H2H stats

Elche’s last 5 matches

Elche CF will be hoping for a better outcome after their most recent La Liga loss, which they suffered to Real Sociedad by a score of 2-0.

Elche CF had 39% of the ball throughout that game and attempted 4 goals, scoring on three of them. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, had 17 shots total, 4 of which were on goal. Real Sociedad scored goals through Takefusa Kubo (48') and Barrenetxea (90').

Elche’s last 5 matches

Elche's recent form has been disappointing as they have only won one match, drawn one, and lost three in their last five games. Their poor run of results has left them sitting in 20th place on the La Liga table, just above the relegation zone. In their last five home matches, Elche has won one game, drawn two, and lost two matches, indicating that their home form has been inconsistent. Despite their struggles, Elche will need to improve their form if they hope to avoid relegation from La Liga this season.

Barcelona’s last 5 matches

Barcelona will enter this match off of a 2-1 La Liga victory over Real Madrid in their previous game.

Barcelona had 54% of the game's possession and 7 of its 17 shots on goal were successful. Ronald Arajo (9' Own Goal), Sergi Roberto (45'), and Franck Kessié (92') scored for Barcelona. Three of Real Madrid's 11 shot attempts on goal were successful.


Barcelona’s last 5 matches

Barcelona's recent form has been impressive, having won four of their last five matches and losing only once. This excellent run of results has propelled them to the top of the La Liga table. In their last five away matches, Barcelona has won three times and lost twice, indicating that their form on the road has been solid. Their only defeat in recent matches came in a home game against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. With their current form, Barcelona will be hoping to maintain their position at the top of the table and continue their push for the La Liga title this season.

Elche vs Barcelona H2H Stats

Elche and Barcelona have a lopsided head-to-head history, having faced each other only three times since 2014. Out of these three matches, Elche has failed to win a single game, while Barcelona has won 11 and drawn one match. In their most recent encounter on September 17, 2022, Barcelona emerged victorious with a 3-0 win. It is evident that Barcelona has dominated this fixture historically, and given their current form, they will be the favorites heading into any future encounters between these two teams.


Elche vs Barcelona H2H Stats

On the other hand, Elche will need to improve their performances and find a way to overcome Barcelona's dominance if they hope to get a positive result in any upcoming matches.

Elche vs Barcelona Betting Tips

Elche vs Barcelona Prediction 1: Barcelona To Win

Based on current form and standings, it is highly likely that Barcelona will win the upcoming match against Elche. Elche is struggling at the bottom of the table with only 13 points, and their survival in La Liga looks bleak. In contrast, Barcelona is in a strong position, having recently secured a crucial win in "El Clasico" and moving closer to clinching the league title. With Xavi's men eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, it seems probable that they will continue their good run of form and give their fans another reason to celebrate. 


Elche vs Barcelona Betting Tips

Given these factors, it is reasonable to predict that Barcelona will emerge victorious in their upcoming match against Elche.

Elche vs Barcelona Prediction 2: Over 2.5 goals

Elche has the worst offensive record in the league, having scored only 19 goals in 26 rounds. While they struggle defensively, they have been the best team for over 2.5 goals bet when playing away from home. However, at their own stadium, they have only had five matches over 2.5 goals in 13 matches, primarily due to a much better defense. In contrast, Barcelona has been outstanding defensively this season, with only nine goals allowed in 26 rounds. Given their current position at the top of the table, it is reasonable to believe that Barcelona will have more than 2.5 goals against Elche's defense.
