On Monday night, Elche hosts FC Andorra at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in what could be a crucial early season clash at the bottom of the Spanish Segunda.
The home team are currently in 18th place in the Segunda table after a poor start to the campaign in the Spanish second tier. A 2-0 home defeat by Sporting Gijon last time out means that Elche have now won just one of their previous six games in the Segunda.

The game continued a goal drought for the home team, who have now failed to score in their last three league outings.
One positive for Elche is that they are unbeaten in their last four home matches in the Segunda, having recorded two wins and two draws.
Their recent home games in the Spanish second tier have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last seven outings.
Like their hosts, FC Andorra have made an underwhelming start to the new league campaign, picking up just ten points from their opening nine games in the Spanish second tier.
Eder Sarabia’s team heads into this clash after two straight defeats against Albacete and Real Zaragoza. The losses mean that the visitors have lost five of their previous seven matches in the Spanish second tier.
A 1-0 home defeat against Zaragoza was another low-scoring outing for FC Andorra, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.
Andorra has been poor on their travels of late in the Segunda, winning just one of their last six away games in the Spanish second tier while suffering three straight away defeats.
Forebet predicts that Elche will get back on track by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
