Elche – Barcelona : Preview & Prediction
Is this the return of Barcelona to the forefront of the game? In any case, the planets seem to be aligning for Xavi’s side, who are unbeaten in seven TCC games with three consecutive wins and an average of three goals scored. The winter signings are performing well, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameynag scoring five goals in his first six games for the Blaugrana. With just one point separating them from third place, the Catalans have a clear objective in the second half of the season: to take over from Sevilla and qualify for the Champions League. Having won nine of their last ten meetings, Sergio Busquets’ team-mates should have no trouble taking all three points from this trip.
Thirteenth-placed Elche look to be in no danger of going down at the end of the season. With a seven-point lead over the first relegation zone, the Franjiverdes have a small cushion over the relegation zone should they lose to the Catalans on Sunday. The club coached by Francisco Javier has scored just two goals against Barca since 2014, conceding an average of three goals. Lucas Boyé and his teammates will be hoping to break this terrible run of form at home, even if it will be a difficult task.
Elche have lost two of their last three games.
Elche will be able to count on a fourteen-goal duo in Boyé and Pere Milla in the league.
Barcelona have scored twelve goals in their last three away games at Elche.
Barcelona have now gone four games in a row without defeat on the road.
Barcelona have scored eighteen more goals than their opponents.
History and momentum are in Barcelona’s favour going into kick-off. However, Elche have been in great form at home since the beginning of January in the league and will be looking to take down Barca this Sunday afternoon. We advise you to watch Xavi’s players win at 1.39
