Elche is coming into this match having lost four of their last five games, though they did manage a win in their most recent outing. They are currently struggling for consistent results.

Alaves have also found wins hard to come by recently, with just one victory in their last five matches. When these two teams met earlier in the season, it was a high-scoring game with several goals. Based on their recent form, this looks like it could be a closely contested match.
