Recent H2H results: Villarreal 6 wins, Elche 4 wins, 6 draws

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 3-0 in favor of Villarreal CF.
Villarreal's 4-4-2 formation favors direct attacking play and midfield control against Elche's 3-5-2 defensive setup. Villarreal should dominate possession and create multiple scoring opportunities through wing play. Elche will likely employ a defensive approach, seeking to absorb pressure and counter through Mir. Villarreal's injuries in defense may be exploited on rare occasions, but overall quality disparity is substantial.
Home advantage combined with superior form, attacking output, and defensive stability heavily favors Villarreal. Elche's poor recent results, defensive injuries, and attacking limitations make them unlikely to prevent a comprehensive defeat. Historical head-to-head record supports Villarreal dominance.
