Valencia and Elche face off at Mestalla in a clash where both sides are desperate for points for very different reasons. The hosts find themselves mired in the relegation zone after a difficult run, while Elche are aiming to keep their push for a top-half finish alive. Recent seasons have seen Valencia dominate this fixture, but current form and season stats suggest a much closer contest is on the cards this time. Kick-off is set for Saturday evening, promising a fascinating tactical battle in La Liga.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
