Elche
Elche’s players, staff, and fans will all take the trip from the Spanish East Coast to the Balearic Islands to face Mallorca at the Son Moix in the hope that they can fix their poor form away from home. The home side have the chance to close the gap between the pair, and edge closer to the top half of the table, away from the relegation zone they teeter above.

Mallorca are 17th in La Liga with 14 points from 15 games (3W, 5D, 7L) and just two points above the relegation zone. Los Piratas have the 5th-worst defensive record in the league, having conceded 22 goals; however, their goal difference (-7) is considerably better than the three teams below them.
Elche are 9th in La Liga with 19 points from 15 games (4W, 7D, 4L), placing them just five points ahead of their weekend opponents. No team has played out more draws than Los Franjiverdes in La Liga this season. The East Coast outfit has been a tough side to beat as they have picked up points against Champions League sides Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao.
In their last 13 meetings, Mallorca have four wins, Elche have three wins, and there have been six draws. Mallorca have struggled against their opponents in recent years, failing to beat Elche in any of their last seven meetings.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
Mallorca Last 5 Matches:
The hosts will be disappointed with recent performances, failing to beat two fellow relegation candidates in Osasuna and Oviedo. That being said, they have kept two clean sheets in their last four league games.
Elche Last 5 Matches:
Elche managed to put a seven-game winless streak to bed against Girona last time out by thrashing them 3-0. A victory which might spur the Spaniards on to find three points on the road for the first time this season, as their current league away record is a sight for sore eyes.

Vedat Muriqi (Mallorca): Mallorca’s veteran Kosovan is having an extremely prolific season for the Island side, scoring 8 goals in 14 games. An absolute marksman, if anyone is to score for the home team, it’s this man.
Rafa Mir (Elche): Another experienced La Liga striker and former Nottingham Forest forward. Mir has six La Liga goals this season for Elche whilst on loan from Sevilla, including a brace last time out against Girona.
