📊 Match recap and data context

Espanyol fell to Elche 1-3 at Stage Front Stadium, a result that cost our model's 44% pick for a home win. Fer Niño struck twice in the opening half, at 26 and 29 minutes, to set the tone. Víctor Chust's own goal in the 72nd minute sealed the defeat. Espanyol's recent form of two wins in five matches proved insufficient against a visiting side that has kept both teams scoring in every recent outing. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
