Prediction: 2-0
Elche
Deportivo Alaves play host to Elche at their Estadio Mendizorrotza in the La Liga round 11. Alaves quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Real Betis, with the team beating Cadiz 2-0 at the weekend. The Basques are eager to escape the relegation zone, and they should go all guns blazing at los Franjiverdes. Former Newcastle United attacker Joselu, who scored a brace at Cadiz, will be the man to watch in the home team.
There are no fresh injury worries in the home side ahead of the visit of Elche. The visitors continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Elche are on a three-game losing run on the road, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Fran Escriba should have a full squad to choose from as well.
Highlighted Player (Lucas Perez):
Lucas Perez is a Spanish footballer who plays for Deportivo La Coruna as a striker. Lucas Perez was born in La Coruna on 10 September, 1988 and he started his youth career at Alaves. Between 2007 and 2009 he played for Atletico Madrid C and in 2009 he signed for Rayo Vallecano.
Lucas Perez scored 25 goals in 44 appearances for los Vallecanos, but he played no more than seven matches for the first team. In 2011 he joined Ukrainian side Karpaty Lviv, but two years later he moved to PAOK, where he played 32 league games for the Greek outfit (scoring nine goals).
Lucas made it to the Greek Football Cup final with PAOk in the 2013/2014 season, but Panathinaikos emerged triumphant in the title game. On 12 August, 2015, Lucas signed a four-year deal with his home-town club Deportivo La Coruna and he impressed in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign, scoring 17 goals for the Galician outfit.
