Predictions
SportsMole's Matt Law: Elche 1-2 Barcelona
"Elche's recent home form has been excellent and must be taken into consideration when predicting this match, but we are finding it difficult to back against Barcelona, who are on an impressive run of form. It could be a tight scoreline, but the visitors should shade this contest on Sunday afternoon."
90min: Elche 1-3 Barcelona
"Barcelona's run of seven games unbeaten is the club's longest all season as Xavi seems to have overcome some of the teething problems he endured upon his initial return to the club - even if the recent victories have been misleadingly emphatic."
