Elche, Recent FormIt's fair to say Elche will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Cádiz, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 50% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Cádiz's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Pablo Machín where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 9 in the same period. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. They are still struggling to solve there defensive problems, having not kept a clean sheet in their last 22 games.
Elche will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at The Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 8 games.
Osasuna, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Mallorca in their last league game, Osasuna will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they recorded 62 of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 6 shots on goal.
Jagoba Arrasate will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 6 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Ezequiel Ávila will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Osasuna's last 6 league games.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Los Rojillos will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Elche, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Osasuna may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 7 league encounters with Elche.
Ante Budimir has scored in each of Osasuna's last league game against Elche.
With only Álex Collado (Tendon) and John Nwankwo (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pablo Machín will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Rubén Peña (Leg) and Nacho Vidal (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Jagoba Arrasate will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
