Elche CF is looking to bounce back from a two-game losing streak when they host Deportivo Alavés, who are seeking to continue their recent resurgence under manager Javier Aguirre. Both teams have shown inconsistent form in La Liga this season, with Elche sitting at 12th and Alavés just above them at 10th. Elche's attacking midfielder, Pere Milla, and Alavés' striker, Luis Rioja, will be key players to watch in this crucial match.
