About this match

**Villarreal are running hot, and Elche are limping into the Estadio de la Cerámica.** The Yellow Submarine's won three of their last five while the visitors sit mid-table and inconsistent — this feels like a statement game for the hosts. 🔴

Villarreal's mix of defensive steel and creative midfield play has them clicking right now, especially at home where they carved up Napoli and Levante. Elche, by contrast, can't find rhythm — one win in five and only a draw against lowly Celta. Both squads are missing bodies in attack, but Villarreal have the depth to absorb it.

Key storylines:

- **G. Mikautadze and A. Pérez** lead Villarreal's charge without **N. Pépé** — can the duo maintain the home heat?
- **Elche's defensive setup** in a 5-4-1 screams caution; they're bracing for an onslaught and hoping **F. Niño** steals a moment on the break
- Home record and H2H dominance heavily favor the hosts — **Villarreal have won 7 of 16** against Elche

Expected lineups:

- **Villarreal**: P. Gulácsi, R. Veiga, P. Navarro, S. Mouriño, C. Romero, P. Gueye, A. Moleiro, S. Comesaña, N. Saliba, G. Mikautadze, A. Pérez
- **Elche**: M. Dituro, V. Chust, P. Bigas, M. Barzić, R. Revivo, L. Cepeda, G. Valera, G. Villar, J. Morcillo, F. Redondo, F. Niño

Prediction:

**Villarreal 2-0 Elche.** Hosts are the clear lean with form, depth, and home advantage all aligned. 💛
