Predict To Win Won 13/19

Athletic Club have won their last two games in La Liga, and they are currently unbeaten in their previous three. They're slowly starting to climb the table once again, and now find themselves in the top half. Elche, on the other hand, are on a tricky run of form. They've failed to win in their previous seven games, with no side in La Liga on a longer winless run. Elche are the only side in La Liga yet to win away from home this season. When the two sides met earlier in the season, they couldn't be separated, with a 0-0 draw played out. The last time Elche travelled to Athletic Club, they secured an impressive 1-0 victory. Unai Egiluz has been sidelined for over six months and is not expected back until March. Maroan Sannadi, Benat Prados, and Nico Williams will also be unavailable for the home side in this game. Alex Berenguer is a doubt for this fixture.

Rayo Vallecano VS Real Oviedo Rayo Vallecano has 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 games, slightly better than Real Oviedo's 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses. However, both teams are in a fluctuating state and are in the relegation zone (18th vs 20th), facing huge relegation pressure. The visiting team has greater psychological burden due to being at the bottom of the table. Tactically, the home team is more active in using width and long passes, while the away team focuses on left - side attacks but is not aggressive. In terms of injuries and suspensions, the home team's midfielders and defenders are suspended due to red cards, which affects the tactical execution and the players' mentality. The away team has relatively minor injuries on the left - wing. Overall, the home team is slightly more stable. Considering the discipline factor, the red - card risk of the home team adds more pressure, while the defensive weaknesses of the away team, such as in set - pieces, may be exploite
