Team Analysis: Elche vs Córdoba
Elche, who returned to La Liga in 2020, managed to stay there for three consecutive seasons. However, after their relegation last year, they finished in 11th place in the Segunda Division, far from the promotion fight. Córdoba, who reached La Liga ten years ago, fell as low as the fourth division but managed to return to the Segunda Division last season through the playoffs, a significant achievement under coach Iván Ania.
Ania continues to lead Córdoba, though the team has seen several new arrivals, including Alex Sala from Girona and Javi Sintes from Sevilla. Elche has seen the end of several player loans but made some permanent signings, such as Bamba Diaby and Nicolás Castro, who impressed last season.
Elche has struggled at the start of the season, losing 0-1 to both Huesca at home and Albacete away. Córdoba also faced challenges, losing to Mirandés away but managing a late 2-2 draw against Burgos.
