Elche desperately need points on Sunday, Mar 14 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Elche come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 1L). Villarreal, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 2D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Elche face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Villarreal have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Elche won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Elche a slight edge, but Villarreal are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
