Elche, meanwhile, arrives at matchday 11 of LaLiga without any injury absences. The team from Elche, in principle, will maintain its base XI from recent matchdays, with the goalkeeper on loan from Barça, Iñaki Peña, in goal and the Affengruber-Vigas duo in the center of defense. Nuñez and Pedrosa will once again be the full-backs.

In the midfield, the Aguado-Febas duo remains in the defensive double pivot, with Martim Neto as attacking midfielder. Germán Varela and Rafa Mir will be the wingers, while André Silva remains as the team's '9'.

Eder Sarabia's team, for the moment, remains in the middle of the standings, with 14 points resulting from 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses. Although they have only scored 11 goals, their defense is their strong point, with 10 goals conceded in the same number of matches (2 less than Barça).
