Bordalas accepts they're favourites going into the game.
He said, "Elche has been doing things really well. They have tightened up a lot at a defensive level and know how to defend very well, both in a low block and in a medium block.
"They have a lot of skill and experience. It's going to be a tough match. We have to give a good showing, compete at a good level and try to get the victory. Elche are a team that are in good form.
"There are not so many styles in football. The matches are very similar. There are games with more success in front of goal and they might be more fun. When FC Barcelona scored four goals against us, nobody focused on the style.
"In today's football, there is dynamism, transitions, set pieces, solvency, reliability... I don't see as many styles as people talk about."
