Orihuela welcome Elche Ilicitano on Sunday, Jan 10 at 5:00 PM in a Segunda Division RFEF – Group 3 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Orihuela come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Elche Ilicitano, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 3L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Orihuela face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Elche Ilicitano have won 4 of 6 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

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