When to watch Elche vs Barcelona
- Saturday, Jan. 31 at 3 pm ET (12 pm PT)
Where to look
- Elche vs. Barcelona will be televised in the US on ESPN Select.
Barcelona head to the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero to face out-of-form Elche on Saturday, knowing that any kind of slip-up will see it surrender its place at the top of Spain’s La Liga.
The visitors found themselves one point ahead of rivals Real Madrid, but a productive week that saw them claim a 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo, followed by an emphatic 4-1 victory over FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League, means that Hansi Flick’s men should go into this game full of confidence.
Midtable Elche, meanwhile, made a strong return to La Liga following promotion last season. However, a run of five games without a win in all competitions has coach Eder Sarabia nervously looking over his shoulder, with the hosts coming into action at the weekend just three points above the relegation zone.
Elche faces Barcelona at the Estadio Martínez Valero in Saturday, January 31. Kickoff is set at 8 pm CET local time, 3 pm ET or 12 pm PT in the US and Canada, 8 pm GMT in the UK and 7 am AEDT kickoff in Australia.
Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring for Barcelona in a 4-1 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.
