Morbid … and much more
Inevitably, the name of Lucas Pérez monopolizes all the headlines related to the party. He left Mendizorroza in a convulsive way and, now, he returns at a key moment for the Basque team. Its role is justified, but it is not the only important point to deal with.
Both Elche and Alavés have a lot at stake. In the classification, they are only separated by four points. They want to escape the danger zone and, today, this is a direct duel to achieve it. In the direct precedent of the crash, the balance tips in favor of the visitors.
Last season, in the only direct confrontation between both teams in the First Division, the people of Elche they were imposed by two goals to zero, with the signing of Tete Morente and Pere Milla. Those of Escribá will seek to repeat, and they need it, before an Alavés who wants to ratify the step forward taken against Cádiz. Photo: Fito González, Diario AS
