Stats for this game
Matchup Alaves VS Elche
Reversals keep the balance open
The results provide evidence for a pairing in which venue helps but rarely guarantees control. Elche won 2–0 at Alaves on 18 October 2020, yet Alaves won 2–0 in Elche on 11 May 2021. Elche then restored its home advantage with a 3–1 victory on 5 February 2022. These examples point to a contest shaped by response and execution rather than a fixed pecking order.
Margins stay meaningful
Alaves won 1–0 at home on 26 October 2021 and later beat Elche 3–1 in Vitoria-Gasteiz on 5 October 2025. The return meeting on 9 May 2026 ended 1–1 in Elche, preserving the sense that either side can alter the tone from one ground to the other. A friendly meeting in July 2021 sits alongside the league results, so the setting and stakes deserve attention when comparing scorelines. A future encounter will ask whether the home side can convert familiarity into control, or whether the visitor can repeat the away resilience that has repeatedly unsettled this fixture.
