Sensation of this start of the season in La Liga, Elche has still not decided to lose at home. Just before the break, the teammates of Frenchman Léo Petrot had conceded their first defeat away from home, at Alavés, but they confirmed this Sunday against Bilbao that the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero remained an impregnable fortress.

If they did not win, they also did not concede a goal against a team, certainly less in shape than last year, but which still remains a Champions League team (0-0). This result allows the promoted side to keep their 7th place in the league, almost in the same rank as Bilbao, 8th with 14 points also.
