Barcelona vs Elche
Barcelona host Elche in a Spanish La Liga fixture as they look to get back on track following the El Clasico defeat. The Catalans will be banking on a solid home form while the visitors are struggling on their travels.
Barcelona suffered a 2-1 defeat at Real Madrid last time out in La Liga, with Fermin Lopez getting their only goal. Hansi Flick’s team are now five points off the pace and will be keen to get back on track.
The good news for Barcelona is that the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys has been a fortress, with five wins in the last six matches in all competitions. The Catalans eased to a 6-1 UEFA Champions League victory over Olympiacos in their previous fixture in front of their fans.

Elche are coming off a 4-0 victory over UD Los Garres in a midweek Copa Del Rey clash. That was a timely return to winning ways, having failed to secure a victory in their last three La Liga matches, suffering two defeats on this run.
Eder Sarabia’s team suffered a 1-0 defeat at Espanyol in their previous La Liga fixture. That result maintains a poor record on the road for Elche, who are without an away win in La Liga this season.
