Elche CF faces a very demanding final stretch of the season after the results of matchday 36 complicated the survival options in Primera División for the franjiverdes.

The situation in the table has tightened following the victories of several teams involved in the fight to avoid relegation. Sevilla came from behind to beat Villarreal, while Espanyol and Alavés also secured vital points, increasing the pressure on the team managed by Eder Sarabia.
Despite the adverse results, Elche CF still depends on itself to seal its continuity in the top flight of Spanish football. The schedule features two decisive matches: this Sunday at the Martínez Valero against Getafe and the final matchday at Girona.
Equality is at its peak in the lower part of the standings. With Real Oviedo already relegated, the rest of the teams involved in the danger zone maintain a constant struggle to avoid the final spots, with Elche CF forced to earn as many points as possible in the two remaining duels to finish the competition.
