Elche host Valencia aiming to stretch early four-point lead
Separated by four points after 10 matches, Elche seek to consolidate their mid-table standing while slow-starting Valencia look to close the gap at Estadio Martinez Valero.
Elche sit 15th on 10 points after 10 games, having enjoyed an encouraging recent spell with only one defeat in their last five outings (W2 D2 L1). They arrive full of confidence following an impressive 3-0 away victory against Rayo Vallecano, which followed back-to-back goalless draws against Villarreal and Celta Vigo.
Valencia sit 19th on six points after 10 games following a slow start to the campaign. With only one win in their last five matches (W1 D2 L2), they enter this fixture looking to rebound from a 2-1 home defeat against Villarreal, having previously secured points in draws against Athletic Club and Racing Santander.
