Contrary to the “enemy” of this journey, the visiting team should play in a 4-4-2 tactical system, with the aim of using the central corridor to invest in the offensive process. In any case, it is expected that Elche will adopt a more offensive posture, since it enjoys a superior squad. For this game mister Jorge Almirón does not have Tete Morante due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: José Salinas, Gerard Barri, Miguel Cifuentes, Juan Sánchez Miño, Jeison Lucumí, Víctor Rodríguez, Omenuke Mfulu, Iván Marcone, Diego Rodriguez, Jony Carmona, Nino.
Coach: F. Rodríguez Vílchez.
