Elche's uphill battle to escape the bottom three in La Liga will continue on Sunday afternoon when they welcome Espanyol to Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.
The home team are currently 20th in the table, 11 points from the safety of 17th position, which is currently occupied by Espanyol, who have only picked up one point from their last three matches.
We say: Elche 1-1 Espanyol
Elche were excellent in their recent home win over Villarreal, but they are still a difficult team to back due to their struggles this season. Espanyol have drawn five of their away 10 league games this season, and we can see another stalemate on Sunday afternoon.

Barcelona will be aiming to put a seventh straight La Liga victory on the board when they resume their domestic campaign at home to relegation-threatened Cadiz on Sunday night.
Xavi's side are currently top of the table, eight points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Cadiz are 16th, just two points clear of the relegation zone heading into the next set of fixtures.
We say: Barcelona 2-0 Cadiz
Cadiz will believe that they have a better chance of picking up a positive in this match due to Barcelona's Europa League involvement on Thursday night, but we are finding it difficult to back against Xavi's side considering their league form. It might not be a classic, but the Catalan outfit should be able to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight in routine fashion.
