Villarreal is coming into this match in a difficult patch, having lost four of their last five games. They did manage a win recently, but overall they are struggling for consistent results. Elche, on the other hand, has found wins hard to come by lately, with just one victory in their last five matches, though they have managed to secure a couple of draws.

Looking at their recent meetings, the games have often been high-scoring, with several matches featuring three or more goals. Based on their current form and the recent head-to-head results, this looks like it could be a close match, but Villarreal appears to have a slight edge to win.
