Elche CF

Mm-hmm.

And they've gotten results against Celta, they've gotten results against Espanyol, against Elche, before the Madrid team.

So still, still, you know, getting, getting good results.

I, I didn't realize they opened with Real Madrid, um, o- on, uh, what was that? That was August 26th, right? Or was it Betis?

I'm your host, and this week we're diving into a fascinating clash from La Liga that ended all square.

Athletic Club vs Elche CF.

Finish in one goal apiece.

This was a match that really had a bit of everything, and the result.

But now, matches just around the corner.

Again, folks, Real Madrid will play Elche tomorrow at 3.30. And Elche...

This game will be at LJ's home, the Estadio Martinez Valero, which Peyton, bizarre, home away splits, similar to what you're talking about with Levante.

So they managed 35 points at home last season.

That's good.

That's something.

Elche do have the 10th highest attendance in La Liga, as I mentioned, over 3,000.

Elysians from Elche show up every game.

and he's shown in the past he's got the talent and he's started off really well this season.

Athletic got a one-all draw with Elche very much against the run of play that Elche got their goal got a penalty and Yaki Williams sort of falling over a Berenguer cross at the end points dropped by Athletic Club isn't it?

It should have been four or five nil up break they dominated missed chances last ditch defending from Elche and And also, I think in recent weeks, they had the bad start.

In recent weeks, they look good.

The football looks more appealing this season from Athletic Club.

Malaga, an obvious candidate.

They may have come up too soon.

Elche.

But yeah, yeah, yeah.

And share same La Liga because Real Madrid are visiting Elche at the Estadio Martínez Valero.

Yeah.

Elche haven't started the season very well this season.

Oh, yeah.

But-

Maybe Brahim Diaz or someone else could also come in there in the attacking line, in midfield as well.

Yeah.

So something had to be done and, you know, a lot of leagues often put, you know, barriers in place or rules in place, and they don't strictly follow them.

Whereas I think with this it really is and w- you know, we did an episode on Elche's administrative relegation, uh, not too long ago and, and, and that shows-

Mm

...

You, you can get in touch with the former Rayos owner if you'd, if you'd like to take up that dispute.

But, you know, let's l- let's also talk about the clubs that we almost lost.

You know, Malaga, Depor, um, you know, Elche, as you mentioned, um, who over, you know, the last 10, 15 years have all really had, um, some, some close calls when it comes to-

Mm

[laughs] Well, you know who... not exactly.
