Elche vs Espanyol Predictions

• Espanyol have won three of their last four games, however, all of those victories have been at RCDE Stadium.
• Periquitos are winless in four on the road, with two draws and two defeats thus far.
• Elche are unbeaten in four games at Estadio Martinez Valero this term, with three of those matches ending level.

Periquitos still have a point to prove on the road

Espanyol have risen to 11^th in La Liga after three wins from their last four games, but last season’s Segunda champions look set to be held at Estadio Martinez Valero this weekend by an Elche side who are unbeaten at home this term.

It was a stuttering start to the campaign for Espanyol who failed to register a win in their first five league matches, though Periquitos’ return to the top flight looks a lot rosier now after securing nine points from a possible 12 in recent weeks.

Those victories included an outstanding 2-1 beating of Real Madrid and Vicente Moreno’s men are already showing more than enough to suggest they’ll stay safe this term.

Honours set to be even at Estadio Martinez Valero

Nonetheless, Espanyol remain winless in their four La Liga starts on the road, with two of those games ending level, and that’s partially why the draw stands out as the most likely result for this Saturday’s fixture against Los Franjiverdes.

Elche have conversely lost three of their last four outings, though Fran Escriba’s charges have stayed solid at home, with one win and three draws thus far from their four games at Estadio Martinez Valero.

They should pick up another point here in what’s likely to be a very even contest, and 1-1 appeals in the correct score market with the hosts already posting that score-line twice in their own backyard this season.
