Alavés are coming into this match in fine form, having won three of their last five games and losing just once. They've been scoring a good number of goals, especially in their recent away wins. Elche, on the other hand, are struggling. They have not won any of their last five matches, losing three and drawing two, and they have found goals hard to come by.

When these two teams have met recently, there have usually been goals. Their last six meetings have all seen at least one goal, with many matches ending with a total of three or four goals. This suggests the match could be an open one. Given Alavés's strong recent form against an Elche side that is out of sorts, Alavés should win this match.
