Villarreal vs Elche Predictions

• Villarreal have won four of heir five competitive matches this season
• Elche are without a win in three games
• Villarreal have not conceded a goal in three La Liga outings

Villarreal looking to keep good start going

It has been an impressive start to the season for Villarreal, who have played five matches and won four of them, with the other ending in a 0-0 draw at Getafe last week.

Unai Emery’s side have kept three successive clean sheets in La Liga, while they also prevented Hajduk Split from scoring in a 2-0 Europa Conference League win in Israel (the other leg finished 4-2).

The Yellow Submarine have not yet played a league game at la Ceramica, but lost just one of their last 12 games there in 2021/22, winning six times, four of them with a clean sheet.

Elche already in trouble?

It looks like it could be another long season for Elche, who have picked up just one point from their opening three games, failing to score in defeats to Real Betis and Real Sociedad.

Francisco’s side come into this clash having lost six of their last eight away matches in La Liga, and again their attacking potency is a problem as they have not netted in five of those fixtures.

They have also never won a top flight match at La Ceramica, with the head-to-head record between the two seeing Villarreal lose just one of their last 10 meetings.

I predict that Villarreal will win this game to nil, with 2-0 my correct score prediction.
