Barcelona should consider themselves lucky for having lost against Bayern in the Champions League, despite being the better team on the pitch. Anyhow, they need a huge win to get their momentum back, and count on them to deliver such a performance this weekend at the Nou Camp, against Elche.
Elche were one of the weakest teams in the Spanish top flight the last season, and they finished 13th in the table at the end of the campaign.
Going on, this time around, they are possibly one of the absolute worst. They are placed 19th in a table of 20, and have a 100% losing record disregarding a single draw.
Meanwhile, with a 15-1 combined scorecard from five games so far, the Catalans have the best offensive as well as defensive records in the tournament.
Moreover, they are placed second in the table at the moment, and are trailing two points below toppers Real Madrid.
However, the Madrid derby takes place this same game week, and chances are high that the Royal Whites might drop points. This is the opportunity for Xavi’s men to go after the top-most spot.
Furthermore, they have a great h2h record against this rival too.
All observations point towards a huge win for Barcelona.
