Elche vs FC Barcelona Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Barcelona to win
- Odds: -264 (Tonybet)
While Elche have failed to claim victory in four straight fixtures, Barcelona are taking off. The Catalans, who top the La Liga table, have won 10 consecutive home encounters.
Having struggled to create chances lately, Los Franjiverdes will have difficulty navigating the game due to the gap in individual quality and current form. The team just lost to relegation-threatened Levante (2-3), despite equalising in additional time.
Coach Eder Sarabia will also have to make do without captain Aleix Febas, who is suspended.
In 14 head-to-head meetings, Elche haven’t recorded a single win against Barcelona. The Blaugrana have won 13 of those matches, with the lone draw coming in 2014.
Elche vs FC Barcelona Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Lamine Yamal to score
- Odds: +121 (Tonybet)
Lamine Yamal scored a spectacular scissor kick against Oviedo (3-0) last week, raising his tally to 16 goal involvements (the most of any Barcelona player). Against Elche, he’s expected to lead the team in the absence of Pedri (injured), as Sarabia’s side lack the athleticism to contain Yamal on the right flank.
Los Franjiverdes will need to decide between piling up two defenders or more against the winger or risking one-on-one duels, where Yamal often comes out winning.
Elche vs FC Barcelona Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Barcelona to win + Lamine Yamal to score + over 3.5 goals
- Odds: +281 (Tonybet)
The defeat against Real Sociedad (1-2) reduced Barcelona’s lead over Real Madrid to a single point, meaning that the Catalans can’t afford to slip up again. Fortunately for them, they face a squad that concede as many goals as they score (29/29). Yamal will be key in unleashing counter-attacks, as he’ll be up against German Valera, a full-back usually involved in offence rather than defence.
Goals can be expected from both sides. While Elche have struggled defensively (29 goals conceded), Barcelona’s centre-back pairing of Pau Cubarsí and Eric García has also been vulnerable to physical strikers, meaning Los Franjiverdes’ attack could find chances despite the Blaugrana’s overall superiority.
Elche vs FC Barcelona Team News
Elche Team News
Elche are winless in their last five matches, including a Copa del Rey elimination against Real Betis (1-2). They haven’t won a game in La Liga since December 21 and have dropped to 11th place.
At the beginning of the season, Elche fared well as Eder Sarabia’s strategic counter-attacks benefitted the likes of full-backs German Valera and Hector Fort, while Rafa Mir waited in the penalty box to deliver the blow. However, Fort is currently injured, and so is Rafa Mir.

Álvaro Rodriguez, although producing similar offensive numbers, can’t replicate Mir’s physical power, resulting in a weaker attack overall.
Elche’s midfield has also suffered due to exhaustion, with the team ranking 15th in xG.
Hector Fort and Rafa Mir will be sidelined with injuries, while captain Aleix Febas will also miss the match through suspension.
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona cruised past bottom-placed Real Oviedo (3-0), with goals from Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Dani Olmo. The Catalans have scored 13 goals across their last five matches, only losing once during that span (against Real Sociedad).
They average 2.7 goals per game in La Liga, making them the league’s most prolific attack.
Barça have kept few clean sheets in recent weeks. The Pau Cubarsí-Eric García pairing at the back has proved to be defensively frail, allowing tall strikers to dominate in the penalty box.
Although Ronald Araújo has returned from his mental health trip, he hasn’t featured with Barcelona just yet.
Andreas Christensen, Ferrán Torres, Pedri, and Gavi will be sidelined due to injuries.
