Elche vs Valencia team news and expert analysis
The club from the "Manuel Martínez Valero", having returned to La Liga from the Segunda in 2025, finished 15th with 43 points. However, the foundation of that success was a strong start to the previous season. This time, they began with a pair of draws and four defeats. It was only in the autumn that they improved: in September, they beat Espanyol, while in October they drew with Celta and Villarreal. They then dismantled Rayo Vallecano 3-0. After that, they also secured a cup victory.
The team from "Mestalla" collected 49 points in 2025/2026 and finished ninth in the final table, a comfortable position. However, after a disastrous start to the new season, they changed coaches in September. The move did not bring an immediate improvement: Aguirre began with draws against Racing and Athletic. They then lost 1-2 to Villarreal.
The former newcomer currently averages 1.4 goals scored and noticeably more, 1.7, conceded per match. Danjuma and his teammates are scoring only 0.7 goals per game so far, while conceding 1.7.
