Deportivo La Coruna come into this match in strong form, having won three of their last five games, including two away victories. They have been scoring consistently and look like a team in good shape. In contrast, Elche are struggling, with just one draw and three losses in their last four matches, and they have not won any of their recent away games.

The two teams have met twice in recent years, with one match ending without any goals and the other seeing a high-scoring encounter where Deportivo won comfortably. This suggests the match could go either way – it might be a tight, defensive battle or an open game with chances at both ends. Given Deportivo's strong momentum and Elche's poor run, the home side are the more likely winners.
