Elche CF has welcomed a new era with Sebastián Beccacece at the helm. As the team heads into the second round of the season, the aim is clear: secure their first positive result under the Argentine coach. The initial outing left room for improvement, especially after a challenging start to the campaign, and now Elche seeks momentum ahead of a demanding schedule. Osasuna, a standout side in the current campaign, sits ninth with 35 points, just a couple of spots outside European competition places, and will stand as a stern test for the visiting side.
Among the players pivotal to Beccacece’s plans are Lucas Boyé and Pape Cheikh, whose recent sanctions have been served, allowing them to rejoin the squad. Chilean midfielder Enzo Rocchi has also reported improvements after muscle niggles, returning to full readiness. The second leg of the semi-finals, contested midweek, offered a glimpse of the weariness running through Osasuna’s squad, yet the club remains determined to assess the fatigue levels before a grueling sequence of fixtures ahead, which includes a King’s Cup clash against Athletic Club Bilbao.
In recent days, Osasuna enjoyed a period marked by celebrations and emotional moments after securing a final KO tournament classification for the second time in the club’s history. That triumph places added pressure on the match against Elche, as both clubs look to capitalize on the momentum and set the tone for the rest of the season. The surrounding narrative around the fixture centers on resilience, depth, and the battle for valuable points that can shape the upper reaches of the table.
The distance between Pamplona and Elche’s home base in Elche, along with the Easter holiday, reduces the likelihood of a large traveling support. Nevertheless, a dedicated few will journey to lend their backing, underscoring the passionate fan culture that fuels both teams. The contest in question remains a focal point for supporters who want to see their side deliver under pressure and demonstrate character on the road.

Programs and TV shows for the 28th day of LaLiga Santander First Division remain a talking point for enthusiasts, who weigh squad depth, tactical adjustments, and upcoming fixtures as the season advances. Elche currently sits at the bottom of the table, with 13 points and two wins from the previous 27 matches, seeking a turn in fortunes. The appointment of Sebastián Beccacece has injected new ideas and energy, and his leadership will be tested as Elche aims to climb the standings and reassert itself as a competitive presence in Spanish football.
