Overview
- The match kicks off at 11:30 Mexico time and will be available in Mexico on Sky Sports, Sky+ and izzi, in the United States on ESPN Deportes, ESPN+ and Fubo, and in Spain on Movistar+ and M+ LALIGA TV.
- Elche sit 16th with 10 points while Valencia occupy 19th with 6 points, so a win would move either side out of their current positions in the lower part of the table.
- Elche arrive in better form after a 3-0 away win over Rayo Vallecano and a prior 0-0 draw at Villarreal, while Valencia come off a 1-2 home defeat to Villarreal following a 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao.
- Probable lineups published for the game show Elche in a 4-2-3-1 with Matías Dituro in goal and Martín Anselmi as coach, and Valencia in a 4-3-3 under Javier Aguirre; both squads list several absences including injuries to Marc Aguado for Elche and meniscus and ligament issues for multiple Valencia players.
- The recent head-to-head record favors Valencia overall but Elche won the last meeting, and the result on Sunday could affect momentum before Elche face Betis and Valencia travel to play Real Madrid.
