Elche have been struggling lately. Their last five games include three losses and two draws, and they haven't won any of them. Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, have two wins, two draws, and just one loss in their last five, so they are in much better shape coming into this match.

When these two teams have met recently, the games have often had many goals. Rayo Vallecano has beaten Elche in their last six meetings, scoring four goals in two of those matches. This makes it look like an open game, and given Elche's poor form, Rayo Vallecano should win this one.
