<h3>Elche</h3>
<p>Elche, having narrowly escaped relegation last May, is once again viewed as a leading candidate for the drop this season. Struggling since the start of the 2026/27 campaign, the team currently sits in the relegation zone and faces a tough challenge on Tuesday. Although they managed to secure a surprising 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao over the weekend, Elche is still searching for their first win in La Liga. With only two points from five matches, Anselmi's team is widely seen as a heavy underdog in this matchup.</p>
