Match preview Barcelona vs Elche

90-minute odds: 0 : 2

Total goals: 3.5

Barcelona approaches this match following another mediocre performance, suffering a 1-2 loss in the El Clásico against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last week, a result the Catalan team had to accept given their lackluster display. With Hansi Flick’s strong attacking line, they easily won last season’s championship, but this season they have fallen behind repeatedly after key figure Inigo Martinez left without replacement during the summer.

Meanwhile, after being promoted to the top division last season, Elche has started this season extremely well under Eder Sarabia’s guidance, playing proactively and impressively. Elche has only lost twice in 11 matches across all competitions this season, following a dominant 4-0 victory over Los Garres in the first round of the Copa del Rey yesterday.

Squad status Barcelona vs Elche

Regarding the squads, Barcelona’s defeat in the El Clásico was worsened as Pedri not only received a red card but also suffered a serious injury. Meanwhile, key players like Joan Garcia, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski from the home side are sidelined due to injury.

Former West Bromwich Albion striker Grady Diangana remains doubtful due to a hamstring injury but there are no other injury concerns for the visitors.

- Barcelona: Szczesny; Kounde, Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Alex Balde; De Jong, Marc Casado; Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Rashford; Ferran Torres

- Elche: Inaki Pena; Affengruber, Bigas, Petrot; Alvaro Nunez, Aleix Febas, Marcos Aguado, Neto, German Valera; Rafa Mir, Silva

Expert analysis Barcelona vs Elche

Throughout last season, Barcelona demonstrated a very powerful offense that opponents could not exploit. Signs suggest that, similar to the final phase of Flick’s time with Bayern Munich and Germany, things have become easier. Elche is a team that passes less, always trying to press opponents with cohesive play and confidence in scoring, yet Barcelona remains favored due to home advantage.

Barcelona struggles to score due to lacking a genuine striker. However, Elche is not a very strong adversary, giving the champions’ forwards a chance to showcase their scoring skills and produce a high-scoring game.
