Espanyol will try to return to winning ways when they take on Elche on Friday evening, having suffered a 2-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano in midweek. Los Periquitos created a number of goalscoring chances after the break, registering 1.65 xG, and have found the net in every one of their last 10 matches. Their home fixtures have also seen BTTS land in 75%, with Espanyol averaging 1.50 goals per game. Defender Omar El Hilali is suspended, but the hosts have been producing fine displays of late.
Elche, on the other hand, are desperate to recover from a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid, with Los Blancos scoring a late winner. Los Franjiverdes have struggled badly on their travels, winning none of their last three away matches and keeping no clean sheets during that spell. Elche have also seen BTTS land in 100% of their recent away fixtures. There are no fresh injury worries, while Fer Nino could sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute against Real Madrid.
Espanyol have been producing fine displays despite their latest defeat, while Elche are winless in their last three away fixtures. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Espanyol DNB and Over 1.5 goals (83% of the previous 12 H2H meetings produced at least two goals, while Elche matches average 3.50 goals across their last 10).
This Primera Division match will be played on Friday 18 September 2026 at 20:00.
