Barcelona vs Elche Prediction, 0:30 November 3: Destroy the guest

Prediction before the match Barcelona vs Elche

After the painful defeat in El Clasico, Barcelona are facing a crisis of confidence. Two defeats in the last three rounds have left Hansi Flick and his team behind in the title race, and if Real Madrid beat Valencia in the early match, the gap between the two teams could be up to 8 points. That means, hosting Elche at Camp Nou is no different from a "must-win order" for the reigning La Liga champions.

Barcelona’s form this season has been somewhat inconsistent. They have won 7, drawn 1 and lost 2 after 10 rounds, which is still a good number if viewed individually, but by the Catalan club’s standards, it is a clear warning. However, the attack is still the biggest hope with 25 goals, the most in the league, showing that Barca still knows how to make a difference.

Flick's team will need to quickly shake off the disappointment of the defeat to Real Madrid to regain their image as the dominant force. A victory over Elche will not only help them continue chasing the top spot, but will also be a morale booster before returning to the Champions League when they visit Club Brugge in early November.

For Elche, the journey back to La Liga this season is going quite well. 14 points after 10 matches helps Eder Sarabia's team temporarily stand in 8th place, a position that not many people thought of before the season. However, their big weakness lies in away matches, when they have not won any matches, with 3 draws and 2 defeats.

A big win in the Copa del Rey in midweek has provided some welcome relief, but Elche know that facing Barcelona is a different story altogether. A draw would be a success, but three points would be a real achievement.

Barcelona need to win, not only to get back 3 points, but also to prove that they still have the courage and desire to defend the title. Against a favorite opponent like Elche, Flick and his students cannot afford to make any more mistakes.
