Elche continues to maintain its permanence options, because there are 13 days (39 points) left to play and the team is 13 away from perpetuity. The draw, which was collected with Tete Morente’s goal, allows us to say that although it is true that the same distance of salvation as the previous week, one more day has been lost, we have not taken a step back.
four points in a row
Pablo Machín’s team has scored four points in a row in the last two weeks, something that cannot be achieved all season. They won at Mallorca (0-1) and drew with Pacheta’s Real Valladolid (1-1). Getting something positive on the coming Sunday (4:15) Anoeta is complex. Elche has never won at the San Sebastian stadium. However, the dynamics of the team changed in this second round. Franjiverdes added 7 of the 18 points at stake.one point more than the entire first round of the championship.
Late
The reaction came too late, but Valencia is now scoring 26 points, the same as Getafe, while Elche escaped with 13 points. There are 25 in Almeria. Mathematics still allows us to dream, The Franchiverde team must win at least two-thirds of the games that have not yet been played.
two important days
The club’s 100th anniversary and the changes the team has undergone in recent weeks are undoubtedly factors to consider. However The calendar is complex, and the next two league events have such complexity as Elche’s encounter with fourth-placed Real Sociedad and leaders Barcelona. Also, the remaining matches are more than at home. Machín’s team will host Barça on Saturday, April 1 at 21:00, after a week’s break due to a visit to Real and the commitments of the national teams.
Next, Elche will visit Osasuna at 14:00 on Holy Saturday. and then it will go to Girona around April 16. The following week, the franciverde team takes Valencia and they go to Vigo on weekdays.
