Real Valladolid will host bottom dwellers Elche at the Jose Zorrilla in La Liga on Saturday (November 5), looking to bounce back from their latest defeat.
After a run of back-to-back wins, the Blanquivioletas were beaten 2-0 by Osasuna last weekend, which was their sixth defeat in 12 games this season. That kept them in 11th place in the standings with 14 points. Valladolid will look to push into the top ten with a win this weekend against their winless visitors.
Meanwhile, it's been a miserable campaign for Los Franjiverdes, who are rock bottom in the league table with just four points.
Manager Francisco was sacked last month, but that has done little to revive Elche's fortunes, as their struggles have continued under new boss Jorge Almiron.
The Argentine has overseen four games in charge, drawing 2-2 against Valencia and Espanyol.

Elche have been the worst team in La Liga this season, scoring the fewest goals (8) and conceding the most (27) and have also failed to win.
