Athletic Club's recent form has been mixed, with a couple of wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five games. Elche have also found results hard to come by, managing just one win alongside a couple of draws and losses in their last five.

Looking at their recent meetings, these two teams have a history of very tight, low-scoring games. Their last several matches have all ended in goalless draws. This suggests another close and potentially cagey match is likely.
