Elche vs Getafe - Prediction, Team News, Lineups Elche host Getafe at the Manuel Martinez Valero on Sunday in a La Liga matchday 37 fixture, with the hosts knowing that nothing less than a win will do as they fight to preserve their top-flight status. With just two games remaining in the season, Eder Sarabia’s side find themselves in a precarious position, while their visitors arrive with the tantalising prospect of European football on the horizon. Elche have endured a difficult return to the top flight following their promotion as runners-up in the Segunda Division last season, and they head into Sunday’s game under real pressure at the bottom end of the table. Sitting 17th with 39 points from nine wins, 12 draws and 15 defeats, Sarabia’s side know that victory in their remaining two games is likely the minimum required to secure their La Liga survival. Their home record has been the foundation of their season, with eight of their nine league wins coming at the Manuel Martinez Valero alongside eight draws and just two defeats - a return of 32 points from their home fixtures. On the road, however, Elche have been a different proposition entirely, managing just one win, four draws and 13 defeats away from home, a record that goes a long way to explaining their current predicament. Those home results underline how difficult Elche are to beat in front of their own supporters, and Sarabia will be looking to harness that advantage on Sunday with the stakes at their highest. The hosts head into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Real Betis, with Leo Petrot being sent off in the 48th minute, leaving Elche to play the majority of the second half with ten men.#getafe #jose_bordalas #elche #manuel_martinez_valero #leo_petrot
