The hosts are looking forward to the visit of Elche which are the only club in the Spanish top division still waiting for their first away win this season. Looking at the hosts' performances so far in front of their home fans, the answer is already positive. The fourth-placed team from last season's LaLiga has won half of their twelve home games this season. Ernesto Valverde's team has already defeated heavyweights of the league like Atletico Madrid and even managed a draw against defending champions PSG in the Champions League. At his last nine competitive matches Gorka Guruzeta was capable of scoring five goals for the Basque side. On average, Elche concede two goals per away game, but team's attack manage to compensate that's why the team is above the relegation zone in 16th place but just one point ahead of the 18th RCD Mallorca.
