The people of Elche lost a golden opportunity against Valladolid, but they cannot lick their wounds if they want to save themselves against a Levante without objectives
ANDl Elche receives Levante with a clear urgency for victory. It occupies the descent six days from the end. His need has increased after his setback against Real Valladolid (1-1), letting a vital victory escape in the final stretch. Against the team that marks the limit of salvation, with one more point and one less game. Had they won, the franjiverdes would have left the red zone.
With only three days to recover, the team from Elche wants to cut its streak of seven straight games without a win, with three points from the last 21 at stake. To do this, he will seek to exploit his greatest demand against a rival with practically nothing at stake. And aware of the tough upcoming schedule, with Atleti at home and Real Sociedad at home as the next opponents.
Elche’s coach, Fran Escribá, has up to five casualties. Among them, the ‘kaiser’ Gonzalo Verdú and forwards Pere Milla and Guido Carrillo stand out. The great question of the eleven is who will accompany Lucas Boyé up. Piatti, the ‘legend’ Nino and Víctor Rodríguez, the most possible options.
No objectives
Levante goes to the meeting without goals to fight for. Since the team scored the necessary points to know that it would not be in trouble, the results have plummeted. And he has even taken a painful win like that of Villarreal. Against Sevilla, those of Paco López competed, but the Seville team was too bull for the granotas who ended up giving up.
Against Elche they have little at stake. A win would give them another mathematical year in first class, but the relegation is so far away that it does little for motivation. The coach is going to make changes to try to activate the team after an unprofitable week.
