More chances of a blind man driving a car than of Elche beating Barca

LaLiga basement slot faces the giants on their soil. The only question is how many they'll concede...

Spanish Leicester. That could be an accurate description of Elche FC, LaLiga's bottomers who lost four out of five opening games of the season and, with that one draw, are already seen as the top contender to descend to LaLiga 2.

No better way to continue that awful streak than with a Saturday afternoon visit to Camp Nou. A clash with wounded and despised Barca after their 2-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich could be a proper batter for the minnows.

Elche lost all four ultimate matches against the giants with a goal margin of 10-3, which tells you enough about the possibility of an eventual see-saw in today's encounter. It should be a one-sided match, by far.

Xavi's squad are currently sitting in second place and are looking for a comfortable win to continue their title chase.

The flawless attacking trio Ansu Fati - Lewandowski - Dembele will probably improve their goal-scoring tally against the underdogs, who are struggling both defensively and offensively at the start of the season.
