UD Pinatar vs Elche prediction, odds and how to watch

Espanyol were reduced to ten men inside four minutes through a VAR-reviewed card on Federico Redondo, and Elche made them pay in ruthless fashion, running out 3-1 winners in La Liga on Friday night.

Real Madrid left it late at Elche, with substitute Carlos Espí scoring in stoppage time to seal a 3-2 win that Elche made them work hard for. Connor Maguire has no patience for how close this was.

Athletic Club dominated every meaningful statistic but had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Elche, with Iñaki Williams scoring a late equaliser after Facundo Buonanotte's penalty had given Elche a shock lead.

Real Betis arrive at Elche in fine fettle, having won four of their last five La Liga matches. Elche need to find something they have been badly missing: desire and consistency.

Elche host Valencia on Sunday with both sides in desperate form and neither able to keep a clean sheet. Something has to give, but right now there is very little evidence either side knows how to stop the bleeding.

Rayo Vallecano host Elche on Saturday with both sides yet to keep a single clean sheet in their last five La Liga matches. Someone's defensive record has to break. The question is which side wants it more.

Elche have shipped 13 goals in their last five La Liga matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet. Celta Vigo arrive low on wins but hard to beat, and this one has awkward draw written all over it.
