Saturday's pool of the 27th round of the Spanish La Liga will end with a match in which Elche will host Barcelona. The Catalans are quite logically quoted in the pair as the big favorites, Barça, on the way to the title, is quite possible not to notice the outsider of the Spanish elite league.

The weakest team in La Liga, Elche will face Barcelona, the league's leader, and national champion, without five minutes. After 26 games in La Liga 2022/23, Elche is in 20th place with 13 points, 14 points less than Espanyol in 17th place. It is doubtful that Elche can be saved from relegation, although sometimes the future hosts can surprise the results, as it was in the recent away game against Mallorca. Elche's home stats are also the worst in the division, +1=4-8, 11:21 goal difference.
Barcelona
During March, FC Barcelona twice beat Real Madrid, first in the Spanish Cup semifinals in the capital with a score of 1:0, and then in the national championship at Camp Nou. Between these two matches, Barcelona beat Valencia and Atlético de Madrid minimally but without scoring a goal. Barcelona is in first place in the league table with 68 points, 12 more than Real Madrid. Barcelona also has the best away statistics in the division, +11=0-2, 22:7 goal difference.

Expert Betting Tips
Barcelona has conceded only nine goals in 26 games in La Liga 2022/23. In the last four games, the Catalans conceded only once, from Real Madrid in the league; in the same cup, they failed to score against Barça, Valencia, and Athletic. We believe that the leader of the Spanish championship has an excellent chance to play one more dry game; on the other hand, our opponent is Elche, an outsider with one of the weakest offensive lines in La Liga. As for the outcome, we have no doubts that Barcelona will win the game.
