Elche go to Villarreal with the ambition to prolong their good start, within their goal of salvation in the First Division. With three games in a row without losing, he will seek to scratch something positive against his third Champions rival in the first six days. He will try to achieve his second consecutive victory away from home, after adding his first win of the course in Getafe (0-1).
We must solve the absence of a goal
Villarreal is already beginning to notice the tightness of the classification. The people of Castellón count their matches by draws in a dynamic that is too reminiscent of that of last season, where they saw how, based on matches, they ran out of options to fight for fourth place in LaLiga. It’s early days and the tiles are capable of fighting for everything, but the results achieved are far from being those of a team with high aspirations.
Being brave and defending well will be key
Lacking offensive spark and goal (only two in four days), the absence of Gerard Moreno, his great reference, does not seem to come at the best moment. With Dia and Danjuma in the adaptation phase and Paco Alcácer almost disappeared, the ballot is not easy for Emery. Perhaps it is time to bet on the Valencian, who, if he has something, is the goal that his team now lacks.
