Malaga are the favourites to go down at 8/11 with Bet365, with Elche second-shortest at 13/10 with Betway.
Elche pushed Real Madrid close in a 2-3 home defeat before their trip to Espanyol on Matchday 7.
For all their struggles, the odds on Elche to be relegated from the Spanish La Liga Primera have actually drifted, and there is football reasoning behind the move. Martín Anselmi's side have been competitive even in defeat, and the clearest example came on 15 September 2026, when they recovered from 0-2 down against Real Madrid at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. Abiel Osorio pulled one back in the 71st minute and Fer Niño, on as a second-half substitute, levelled at 2-2 in the 83rd with his third league goal of the campaign, before Carlos Espí snatched a 91st-minute winner for the visitors. That kind of fighting display against the champions is not the profile of a side dead on its feet, and the market has taken note.
The bigger nudge, though, has come from below them. On 17 September 2026, relegation rival Malaga were beaten 3-1 at home by Villarreal, Pape Gueye striking in the 45th and 86th minutes at Estadio La Rosaleda to leave the promoted side looking the more obvious candidate to go down. With Malaga stumbling, punters have eased off Elche, whose attack has produced eight goals in six matches even while the defence has leaked 16. That combination of goals at one end and a fighting spirit against Real Madrid is exactly why the odds on Elche to be relegated from the Spanish La Liga Primera have lengthened rather than shortened.

How do Elche avoid relegation from the Spanish La Liga?
The route out of trouble starts on 18 September 2026, when Elche travel to face Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium in Cornellà de Llobregat for Matchday 7, kicking off at 20:00 BST. Espanyol sit eighth on seven points from six games, so this is no gimme, but Elche do get a break with home defender Omar El Hilali suspended after his red card against Rayo Vallecano. The template for Anselmi's men is clear: they can find the net, having scored eight times already, so tightening up the defence that has shipped 16 goals is the priority if they want to keep climbing off the bottom. With Malaga now the market's chief worry and the odds on Elche to be relegated from the Spanish La Liga Primera having drifted from 4/5 to 6/5 with BetTom, the mood around the drop fight has shifted a touch in Elche's favour, and a positive result in Barcelona would only push their price out further.
