Elche's Momentum and Home Struggles
Elche have impressed in recent weeks and will arrive on a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Martin Anselmi’s side followed a 3-0 league win away to Rayo Vallecano with a 3-1 victory over Pinatar in the Copa del Rey. They have collected eight points from their last four La Liga matches, lifting them to 15th in the table.
Despite that progress, Elche have yet to win a home league match this season, which makes this fixture an important opportunity to turn their form into points at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. Their record of two wins, four draws and four defeats from 10 league games suggests there is still room for improvement, even if their recent performances have been encouraging.
Thomas Lemar is expected to return to the starting side after the cup match, while Fer Niño remains a key attacking figure after scoring six league goals in 10 appearances. Elche will need to assess his fitness before the game, but his contribution could be decisive if he is ready to feature.

Valencia's Relegation Woes
Valencia are struggling near the bottom of La Liga, sitting 19th with only six points from their first 10 matches. Their latest outing ended in a 2-1 home defeat to Villarreal, leaving them without a league win since beating Alaves 1-0 in mid-September. They have taken just two points from their last four league games.
The visitors’ biggest problem has been their lack of goals. Valencia have scored only seven times in 10 league matches, the joint-second-worst attacking record in the division. Although they won their only league match so far on the road, their recent results offer little reassurance ahead of this trip.
Valencia will need a more effective performance in the final third if they are to escape with points. Their recent meetings with Elche have generally been competitive, but their current form leaves little margin for error. Harvey Elliott is suspended, while several other players are unavailable, further limiting the options for the visitors.
