VALENCIA – ELCHE | Saturday 4:15pm
Four points in the last two consecutive away outings. Seven in their last three matches. In short, Gattuso’s Valencia seem to have got into the right gear and at the Mestalla they are ready to take what would obviously be their fourth useful result in a row. In spite of some important absences, the Italian coach’s team managed to find the right combinations and above all found in Kluivert that element that had been questioned, who instead scored in last week’s match.
Elche, on the other hand, after a series of four defeats in a row, drew at home against Mallorca in the last round. A point, however, that did not allow the visiting team to leave the last place in the standings. Only two draws, with nineteen goals taken and four scored. A disappointing start to the season and a difficult salvation.

Gattuso’s Valencia have all the makings of their third win in the last four days. At the Mestalla, up until now, things have gone very well. That’s why there should be no doubt about what the final result should be.
