ELCHE – GETAFE | Monday 9pm
Yes, it’s still matchday 12, but Elche look definitely destined for relegation as they occupy last place in the Spanish La Liga table and are already six points away from what could be salvation. One of the teams with ten points in the table at the moment is Getafe, who are looking for a victory to move away and also to overtake several teams who are there, at the moment attached, and ready to play for an important salvation. Obviously it appears to be a last resort for Elche, not least because losing again would also be a blow to morale. It would serve, for the home team, to get closer to the group in front before the World Cup break. A feat that at the moment appears almost impossible.
And that is why the visiting team appear to be slight favourites, even though Elche, the points, have done just that in this very last part of the season with three draws – and two defeats – in the five matches before this Monday night. In short, despite what we told you earlier, and despite Getafe being slight favourites, this match could well end in a draw. Maybe. In any case, the feeling is that at least one goal per team will be there.

The Prediction
Elche are undoubtedly playing an important part of their season, as they need to score points to try and get closer to the salvation train. It is a match that has a lot of weight for the home side, who will at least try not to lose any more ground. A one-goal challenge for each team. A match that could end in a draw.
