Prediction and betting odds for Espanyol vs Elche at 21:15 on October 25, 2025, La Liga Round 10

Espanyol, led by coach Manolo Gonzalez, started impressively with 4 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses, scoring 13 goals and conceding 11. After a run of 4 matches yielding only 2 points, they bounced back strongly with a 2-0 win over Real Oviedo. Espanyol’s attack, featuring Kike Garcia and Roberto Fernandez, has been effective, while Pere Milla and Tyrhys Dolan add vitality to the midfield. Espanyol is unbeaten in their last 4 encounters with Elche, including a 2-0 victory in the 2023-24 Segunda Division season.

Elche, under coach Eder Sarabia, has been the season’s surprise after returning to La Liga as Segunda Division runners-up. With 3 wins, 5 draws, and just 1 loss, they have scored 11 goals and conceded 9. Their only defeat was 1-3 against Alaves, but a recent 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao showed their resilience. Andre Silva, with 4 goals in 8 matches, is a key offensive player, while David Affengruber’s return from suspension strengthens their defense.

In the last 5 meetings, Espanyol has 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, with the latest match ending 2-2 in April 2024. Given current form (Espanyol scoring 7 goals, Elche 5 in their last 5 games), the match is expected to be very tight, with Elche capable of causing problems thanks to their solid defensive style.

Espanyol has home advantage and steady form, but Elche boasts a quality squad. The game is predicted to be closely contested, with a strong possibility of a draw.
