H2H: Elche vs Valencia – Comparison.

Pere Milla has successfully made the step up from LL2, opening the scoring in Elche’s most recent LL fixture. Maxi Gómez remains Valencia’s only player to have scored in multiple LL away games this season, recording their only goal on two separate occasions. Valencia have taken the most corner kicks in just one LL match this season.

Elche Insights.

Elche enter this contest as one of six La Liga (LL) clubs with a win rate of 50% or better as an outsider at all venues (W2, D1, L1), but are still searching for their first home victory in what has been their finest start to a LL season this century. In fact, the hosts are yet to score at home this LL campaign (D1, L1), one of only two clubs still in that predicament. Averaging just 1.75 shots on target per LL game, home or away, it’s little wonder they’ve struggled to make an impact offensively. However, three consecutive LL clean sheets at all venues has kept their last three matches to fewer than 2.5 total goals.

Valencia Insights.

Similarly, three of Valencia’s last four LL matches have also produced two or fewer total goals, and they’ve been somewhat responsible for that pattern, recording just one goal in each of their three LL 2020/21 away fixtures. Valencia have been slow starters in their first six rounds of the LL season, conceding the opening goal in the first 20 minutes on four occasions. With the team to score first winning seven of the ten matches involving either side this LL season (D1, L1, one 0-0 draw), it’s a habit the visitors desperately need to shrug off.
