Prediction: 2-1
Cadiz
After surviving Yeclano in the Copa del Rey last 64, Elche will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Cadiz on Matchday 18. Los Franjiverdes are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Argentina international Nicolas Mercau should be recalled to the starting XI after the 24-year-old was rested in the Copa del Rey triumph.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Spanish Cup loss to Eldense, but given their shaky defence, home win should be considered. As Cadiz experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend, we are tempted to bet on Elche this time out. Both Jose Mari and Zaldua are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Elche):
Established in 1923, Elche is a Spanish club that competes in La Liga. Los Franjiverdes welcome their rivals at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, the stadium which can hold up to 33,732 spectators. The venue was opened on September 8, 1976.
Elche wear white shirts with green stripe and white shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The club’s biggest success came in 1969 as Elche made it to the Copa del rey final. Los Franjiverdes faced Club Atletico de Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final, with the Basques winning the match by one goal to nil.
The likes of Mario Pasalic, Ivan Bolado, Garry Rodrigues, Goran Djorovic, Albert Nadj, Wakaso, Moha, Carlos Sanchez, Ioan Andone, Enzo Roco, Dominique Malonga, Richmond Boakye, and Sory Kaba are some of the notable players who were part of the team in the past. Elche have never represented Spain in European competitions.
