Match preview
Villarreal host Elche in the La Liga on 8 March 2026. Villarreal sit 3rd on 66 points and Elche are 15th on 40. Villarreal have won 3 of their last 5 (DWLWW), while Elche have won 0 of 5 (LLLDL). In their last 2 meetings, Villarreal won 1, Elche won 0 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.
How this is worked out
Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.
Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
