Mallorca and Elche face today in a duel for permanence. Those of Luis García Plaza will seek to return to the path of victory after three consecutive draws against Valencia, Seville and Cádiz. For its part, Elche, need to start adding three, since they have not achieved a victory since matchday 4, in which they beat Getafe by the minimum in the Coliseum.
The vermilions have a big goal in mind: stop conceding and lose points in injury time. That is the great pending subject of the vermilion box, which has seen how in recent games it has lost many points and has left a bittersweet taste, despite having shown to play great football and be an uncomfortable and daring team.
Meanwhile, Elche has the need to win to get out of its worst dynamics of the course. Accumulate four days without victories, with a draw and three defeats. The last one, against Real Madrid (1-2). This result ended the franjiverde unbeaten at home.
In addition, the box from Elche links four exits with stumbling blocks. Negative numbers that have momentarily placed it in decline. And they leave in doubt the figure of their coach, Fran Escribá. The technician must modify the eleven by the casualties of Raúl Guti and Helibelton Palacios, although there could be more changes.
