The Valencian team arrives in Elche with the intention of breaking their current dynamic and achieving a victory that will boost their position in the league standings. Meanwhile, Elche, in a delicate situation, will look to leverage their home advantage to earn points and climb out of the relegation zone.

Both Carlos Corberán, Valencia CF's coach, and Sarabia, Elche's coach, are dealing with significant squad absences. For Valencia CF, the defensive absences of Agirrezabala, Diakhaby, Foulquier, and Copete, joined by Unai Núñez, will force Corberán to reshuffle his backline, with Tárrega and Cömert as central defenders.

On Elche's side, the most notable absence is Bigas due to suspension, while players like Héctor Fort, John Donald, Marc Aguado, Diangana, and Boayar are nursing injuries. Elche's attack will feature former Valencia player Rafa Mir as a key reference.

The probable lineups for the match are as follows: for Elche CF, Dituro; Valera, Pétrot, Afengruber, Chust, Morente; Febas, Aguado, Gonzalo Villar; André Silva and Rafa Mir. For Valencia CF, Dimitrievski; Gayà, Cömert, Tárrega, Thierry; Guido, Ugrinic, Rioja, Ramazani, Lucas Beltrán and Umar Sadiq.
