Espanyol has had an up-and-down run lately, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five matches, so they are a bit inconsistent. Elche, on the other hand, has been struggling—they have no wins in their last five games, with two draws and three losses, which means they are in poor form heading into this match.

When these two teams have met recently, the games have been very open and high-scoring. Four of their last five meetings have ended in draws, and in each of those draws, both teams scored two goals each, making the score 2-2. With Elche struggling so much and Espanyol being slightly more reliable at home, Espanyol look like the team most likely to win this one.
