Elche CF Aims for Victory at Osasuna Amid Strong Support

PAMPLONA, Spain — Elche CF prepares to face CA Osasuna on Thursday, September 25, at 7:30 PM, with a mission to extend its strong start to the season. More than 100 fans from Elche plan to travel to El Sadar to support their team during this important match.

The team, coached by Eder Sarabia, has shown impressive form and hopes to reward its passionate supporters with a positive result. In a midweek clash, enthusiasm for the game remains high, defying the usual weekday limitations on attendance. The club reminds fans that tickets for the away section are non-transferable, requiring identification for entry, and flags with poles are not permitted for safety reasons.

“We want to maintain our identity regardless of the venue,” Sarabia said in a press conference. “We know El Sadar is challenging, but we trust in our preparation and teamwork.”

Elche arrives at El Sadar after five unbeaten games, a record that aligns them with clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona historically. Currently sitting in seventh place with nine points, a win could propel them to fourth in LaLiga EA Sports.

Osasuna, on the other hand, has seen mixed results this season, currently in the middle of the table with six points. The team, managed by Alessio Lisci, has a notable home advantage, having won their last two matches without conceding a goal.

This clash is crucial for both teams, as Osasuna aims to rebound from a recent defeat against Villarreal, while Elche attempts to maintain its momentum as a newly-promoted squad.

Several key players will miss the match for both teams. For Osasuna, defender Valentin Rosier is suspended, while Elche will be without Martim Neto and Rodrigo Mendoza due to injury and international duty.

As both teams prepare to meet, the stage is set for an intense and competitive match that could define the direction of their seasons.
