Barcelona vs Elche predictions: A card fest
Key stats
- At least five cards were awarded in each of Barcelona's last five games.
- Five of Elche's last six matches went above the 4.5-card line.
- Barcelona have won 11 consecutive encounters with Elche.
Correct score prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Elche
While Elche are unbeaten at home, they are one of five La Liga teams still hunting for their first away win of the season.
In contrast, Barcelona have had a perfect record at home, winning four of four league games at this stadium while averaging just over three goals.
Moreover, Barcelona came out on top the last 11 times these teams clashed and they averaged exactly three goals in their last five meetings.
On that note, this should be business as usual for the defending champions.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Barcelona are overwhelming favourites
- HOME: 1/5 (1.20) – 83.3%
- DRAW: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%
- AWAY: 11/1 (12.00) – 8.3%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Elche halted their three-game winless run with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Tercera Federacion side Los Garres in the Copa del Rey a few days ago. They are ninth in La Liga with a modest 3-5-2 win-draw-loss record.
On the other hand, second-placed Barcelona suffered a 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid in El Clasico last weekend and are now five points behind their arch-rivals in the title race.
Ahead of this skirmish, Barcelona are the expected winners at 1/5 (1.20). Teams with these odds usually have an 83.3% probability of winning.

Barcelona preview: Injury woes continue
Barcelona’s injury crisis has deepened with the recent hamstring setback to midfield maestro Pedri, who is sidelined for at least three weeks. The squad is still without Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Andreas Christensen, Gavi, Joan Garcia, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen due to injuries.
However, it is not all gloomy for the Blaugrana as there is good news in the final third on star striker Robert Lewandowski, who has returned to training. The Pole is tipped to play a part against Elche this weekend.
Head coach Hansi Flick will also be back in the dugout following his absence in last Sunday's El Clasico, as the German looks to steer his side back to winning ways.
Predicted lineup: Szczesny (GK), Kounde, Garcia, Cubarsi, Balde, De Jong, Casado, Yamal, Lopez, Rashford & Torres.
Last five matches
- Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona
- Barcelona 6-1 Olympiacos
- Barcelona 2-1 Girona
- Sevilla 4-1 Barcelona
- Barcelona 1-2 PSG
Elche preview: Eyeing their first away win
Similarly, Elche are expected to remain without Grady Diangana, who has not completely recovered from a hamstring injury, even as the visitors set their sights on their first away win of the season.
Predicted lineup: Pena (GK), Nunez, Chust, Diaby, Bigas, German, Aguado, Febas, Mendoza, Silva & Mir.
Last five matches
- Los Garres 0-4 Elche
- Espanyol 1-0 Elche
- Elche 0-0 Athletic Club
- Deportivo Alaves 3-1 Elche

Player to watch: Robert Lewandowski
With Robert Lewandowski expected to feature in this game, the former Bayern Munich forward will fancy his chances against Elche, having scored four goals and provided one assist in the last two encounters between these teams.
