Team News

Elche
Athletic Club
  • Diego Gonzalez is out due to suspension this weekend for Elche, so Josema could come into an expected back three.
  • Johan Mojica is still recovering from a muscle injury, so Fidel should feature at left wing-back for the hosts.
  • Pablo Piatti should start in support of the front two once again, while Omenuke Mfulu should be preferred to Ivan Marcone in central midfield.
  • Raul Garcia is suspended for Athletic Club after getting a straight red card last time out against Real Madrid.
  • Asier Villalibre is expected to rotate in for Inaki Williams in attack, as Marcelino tries to give his younger, less experienced attacking players further minutes.
  • Alex Berenguer is a doubt with a knee problem, with Ibai Gomez set to deputise if required for Los Leones.

Prediction

  • Elche got back to winning ways last time out, taking a vital 3-1 win over Cadiz. The hosts sit in 18th place, level on points with 17th-placed Huesca and in direction competition with both them and Real Valladolid for survival.
  • Athletic come into the weekend on a run of three games without a win, drawing with Osasuna before consecutive defeats to Huesca and Real Madrid.
