Elche and Barcelona face in the twentieth day of LaLiga Santander, in a meeting that is very important for both teams, since the Blaugrana arrive with a very loaded calendar and without Messi, sanctioned, and the people of Elche are in a position of descent to the Smartbank League, so they need to react as soon as possible.
Elche – Barcelona | Schedule
He Barça arrives with a complicated schedule, after playing the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, with three consecutive extensions. In the Cup they played last Thursday against the UE Cornellá, who arrived until added time, with a fundamental goal of Dembelé that got the game on track, that finally ended Braithwaite in the 121st minute of the match (0-2).
In the Spain Supercup disputed the extension both with the Real society, in the semifinals, and against him Athletic BilbaoIn the final, they lost 2-3. This wear can make the team dose efforts, in a meeting that they will also do without Leo Messi, sanctioned for his expulsion against the Athletic Bilbao, for a slap on Asier Villalibre.
The team of Ronald Koeman currently occupies the third position of LaLiga Santander, with 34 points. Barça in the domestic competition has been on a march from less to more, with a streak of four victories and a draw in the last five games. This has allowed the culé team to climb into the positions of Champions League, something that I had not achieved during the first 15 dates practically.
He Elche by Jorge Almirón, for its part, has the opposite dynamic, since it does not know the victory in the last five games. In his last game, he had a direct duel for the permanence in the Jose Zorrilla against him Real Valladolid, in which he was winning 0-2 at halftime. A “doublet” of Josan Fernandez It was not enough, since Valladolid equaled the disadvantage in the second half.
The team from Elche currently occupies the eighteenth place in the standings, with 17 points. Although they have only played 17 games (the one I think of LaLiga Santander next to Atlético de Madrid), are the team with the fewest victories together with Osasuna (3), except for the bottom Huesca, who has only won one match.
