Barcelona take on the visitors Elche in the round 6 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 17th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona, after a disastrous last season, are simply obliged to hold a strong pace in 2022/2023. Xavi could not immediately live up to the huge, most likely tritely inflated expectations. He was not able to take a single trophy, at least winning the Europa League or taking the Copa del Rey. But now the club has already carried out quite actively 2 transfer campaigns – the coach need to answer with the result. It will be difficult in the Champions League, especially since the quartet turned out to be even more difficult than a year ago. But in the LaLiga, the situation is positive, what is the cost of Benzema's injury at Real Madrid. And the "blue garnet" got Lewandowski, who has already scored 6 goals. And in general, the Catalans started powerfully. Yes, they stalled at the start, starting from 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano. But after that, all 4 matches of the LaLiga were won with a total score of 15-1. Including in the last round, Barca did not notice in-crisis Cadiz, scoring 4 unanswered goals. And again, Robert has a goal and 2 assists. But with Bayern, he showed nothing, like all his new partners. There again everything ended in defeat - 0-2.

Elche are having a tough season. Last season they managed to rise to the 13th position, gaining 42 points. All the more surprising is the current failure in the performance of Francisco and his wards. On the other hand, the club was frankly unlucky with the schedule of matces in August-September. They started with an away match against Betis in Seville, which ended in a rather expected 0-3. And then they even took a draw, however, these 1-1 were at home and with a newcomer, Almeria. After that, nothing was able to answer the only goal of Mendez from Real Sociedad. And then followed by 0-4 with Villarreal. Even the pragmatic Athletic also scored 4 goals, though conceding 1.
In 10 head-to-head matches played, Elche only once managed to take a draw, and that one in 2014. Last season, Barcelona,for all its problems, took victories, albeit not easy ones, 3-2 and 2-1. Bookmakers are waiting for only 1 intrigue: at what number of goals will Barcelona stop? It is worth taking a handicap "-2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -2.5 handicap.
