Barcelona has a vice-like grip on the La Liga title at this stage of the season, and they will be keen to ensure that there is no route back into the title race for Real Madrid. They can take another step toward winning the top prize with a 23rd win of the campaign this weekend against Elche.
It has been a sensational season to this point for Barcelona, as they have opened up a 12-point advantage over Real Madrid in the race for the title. The Catalonian giants have won 22 of the 26 matches that they have played this term, and they come into this fixture on Saturday after winning each of their previous three fixtures in the league, with the most recent of those coming against Real Madrid.
While the Nou Camp has been a fortress this term, Barcelona has also excelled on the road. They have picked up eleven wins from their 12 matches away from home, and they have only failed to score on one occasion.
Elche will have their work cut out this weekend, as they look for a vital victory to aid their survival chances. The Spanish side have collected points in two of their previous three matches, which has seen them picked up just a point fewer than they had managed in their previous 12 before this run started.
It will likely take a miracle for Elche to survive this term, as they have recorded just two wins from their 26 matches this term, and have scored a league low of 19 goals. Furthermore, they have also allowed more goals than any other team, and they are 14 points from safety with 12 matches of the season remaining.
Barcelona has won 16 of their previous 20 matches against Elche in La Liga, and they are yet to lose during this period. The Spanish giants have scored and failed to lose in each of their previous nine visits to Elche, while they have won each of their last six trips to this weekend’s rivals.
This should be one of the most straightforward games of the weekend to predict, as Barcelona has been too strong throughout this season to see them dropping points on Saturday. We expect the league leaders to win comfortably.
