Rayo Vallecano have been in okay form recently, with two wins and two draws in their last five matches. They have only lost once in that time. Elche, on the other hand, are struggling. They have lost three of their last five games and drawn the other two, meaning they haven't won any of them.

Looking at how these two teams have played against each other in the past, the matches have often been one-sided. Elche have won the last six meetings, and in four of those games, they scored four or more goals. Given that history and Elche's current poor form, this match looks close. Rayo Vallecano are in better shape and should be able to avoid defeat, so a draw is a likely outcome.
