THE PREDICTION
This Valencian derby is between two sides in some similar form. Elche come into this on the back of a slender 2-1 win away to Espanyol last weekend to make it just one defeat in their last five matches in all competitions. That run of form is helping them inch away from the bottom three and the relegation places. They come up against a Villarreal side that, despite a defeat against Sporting Gijon in the cup, have started 2022 well in the league with a good performance and 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid following a 5-0 hammering of their other Valencian rivals Levante. Both teams scoring in this one look a good bet.
