We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to in La Liga this week including the meeting between Athletic Club and Elche at San Mamés Barria. The hosts begin this round of fixtures in 8th place on 41 points well the visitors are in 14th place on 32 points.
Athletic Club come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at home against Getafe in La Liga prior to the international break.
Getafe took the lead after only 3 minutes of the game but Athletic Club scored the equalising goal 26 minutes later. Getafe had a player sent off in the 65th minute but Athletic Club could not take advantage of the extra man and were forced to settle for a point.
That result means Athletic Club have recorded just a single victory from their 5 most recent games in all competitions.
The win came over Levante at home in the league but there have been defeats against Barcelona and Real Betis away in La Liga and a 1-0 loss at Valencia in the Copa del Rey.
Trends show Athletic Club are undefeated in their last 7 home games in all competitions. They have won 3 of their last 4 La Liga fixtures at San Mamés Barria and have scored in each of their last 6 home league matches.
Elche make the trip north to San Mamés Barria having previously lost 1-0 at home against Valencia in La Liga. The only goal of the game was scored in the 50th minute and Elche were reduced to 10 men in the final moments of the match.
That result means Elche have won only 1 of their 4 most recent games in La Liga, with the victory coming away against Granada. Elche lost the other 3 matches, with defeats coming at Levante and at home against Barcelona.
Away form in the league shows Elche have won 1 of their last 4 fixtures. There have been defeats at Sevilla and Levante plus a 2-2 draw at Real Madrid, the latter of which was a good result.
However, Elche have achieved just 4 wins in their last 32 away La Liga games and scored just a single goal in their 3 most recent away matches.
Team news and Athletic Club will have Yeray Álvarez back in contention following suspension. Iñigo Lekue and Julen Agirrezabala are both injured and will be unavailable for this game.
Elche will be without Johan Mojica following his red card against Valencia prior to the international break. He joins Javier Pastore on the sidelines, who is also serving a ban following a red card but Antonio Barragan returns following suspension.
Athletic Club have been inconsistent of late but are a tough opponent when playing at home. Elche generally struggle when playing on the road and have been finding goals difficult to come by of late on their travels. Athletic Club could come out on top and win the game with a clean sheet.
