Málaga heads into this match in excellent form. They have not lost in their last five games, winning three and drawing two, including a recent 2-1 win away from home. They look very solid and confident at the moment. Elche, on the other hand, are in poor shape. They have not won any of their last five matches, losing three and drawing two.

In the two most recent meetings between these sides, both were decided by a clear goal difference, with the away team winning each time. Elche did win 3-0 in one of those games, but their current struggles make this a tough ask. Given Málaga's strong run and Elche's poor form, this match looks like it will be a win for Málaga.
