Elche CF vs FC Barcelona - 06/03/2022
3251
We have 4 games to look forward to in La Liga on Sunday the 6th of March including the meeting between Elche and Barcelona.
The match will take place at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero and the hosts begin the weekend in 13th place on 29 points while the visitors are in 4th place on 45 points.
Elche come into the game on the back of a disappointing 3-0 loss at Levante in La Liga last weekend. Having conceded a goal shortly before half-time, Elche scored a second 20 minutes into the second half and having had a man sent off, Elche conceded a third goal at the end of the match. It was a poor performance against the team sitting bottom of the table.
That result means Elche have won 2 of their last 6 matches in all competitions. Both wins have come in La Liga and Elche have beaten Alaves 3-1 and Rayo Vallecano 2-1 at home. Elche have not been easy to beat in recent La Liga games and are undefeated in 5 of their last 7 league fixtures.
Home form in the league is good and Elche have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 La Liga matches at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. There have been wins over Cadiz, Villarreal, Alaves, and Rayo Vallecano.
Trends show Elche are unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 home matches in all competitions and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 home games.
Barcelona make the trip to Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero having beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0 at home in La Liga last weekend.
The score was 1-0 going into the final 20 minutes of the match and Barcelona came alive, scoring 3 goals in the space of 17 minutes to seal maximum points.
That result means Barcelona have won 5 of their 7 most fixtures in all competitions, including each of their last 3 games. There have been wins over Valencia and Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and a good 4-2 win at Napoli in the Europa League.
Trends show Barcelona are on an unbeaten run of 15 games in all competitions, including each of their last 4 away matches. They are undefeated in their 9 most recent away league games and have seen both teams score in 3 of their last 4 on the road in La Liga.
Looking ahead to the team news and Elche are without the suspended midfielder Gerard Gumbau. Javier Pastore, John Donald, and Helibelton Palacios are injured.
Barcelona have four players unavailable, with Álex Balde, Ansu Fati, Samuel Umtiti, and Sergi Roberto on the treatment table.
This should be an exciting game and we expect to see both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Barcelona have been in good form of late and scoring goals, meaning they must be the favourites to come away with all 3 points.
