Barcelona vs Elche Prediction: The fourth defeat for Elche?

Saturday's pool of the sixth round of the Spanish championship will continue with a match between Barcelona and Elche. The Catalans will surely do all they can to beat Elche after their defeat in Munich.

A few days ago, Barcelona lost their first game of the season to Bayern Munich. It was noteworthy that Lewandowski was on the pitch for the full 90 minutes but failed to score, as did his team, although Robert is currently the leading scorer in the La Liga scoring race. Bayern scored two goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Returning to La Liga, the Catalans are in second place after five rounds, two points behind Real Madrid. They will also play against Atlético de Madrid in this fixture. In other words, it could well happen that Real Madrid loses points, which, if Barça wins, would make the Catalans the league leaders. This fact will surely motivate Spain's second team so far to win Saturday's game.

After five rounds, Elche has one point, a 1:1 home draw against Almeria. All the other games were defeats (to Betis 0:3, Real Sociedad 0:1, Villarreal 0:4, and Athletic 1:4). As you can see, three of the four losses were big ones, which does not make Elche's fans happy ahead of the game against the Catalans. Before the start of the sixth round, Elche is in the relegation zone in the 19th position.

Elche has now lost three matches this season: away to Betis and Villarreal and away to Athletic. Barca will be furious after the setback in Munich, and the Catalans do not want to lose the opportunity to rise to first place. Barcelona also has an excellent opportunity to improve their goal difference, with Lewandowski consolidating his role as La Liga's top scorer.
