Elche vs Getafe preview - Moral targets vital win



Posted Saturday, April 05, 2014 by PA

Elche striker Manu del Moral has urged his team to land a telling blow in the Primera Liga relegation battle by beating Getafe on Sunday.

The rivals are among 10 clubs scrapping for survival in a congested lower half of the table.

Elche are two points above the drop zone and Getafe just one point, making the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero showdown a pivotal fixture.

Del Moral believes victory will inspire Elche to extend their stay in the Primera Liga.

"We must try and get the vital three points. We'll need the support of our fans so that we are not anxious, instead we are calm," Moral said.

"In the dressing room there is no doubt that we will survive relegation. We'd like to have more points, but we know that has been difficult.

"We're mentally stable and confident that we will achieve our objective.

"We need to go into the match with the maximum intensity and keep in mind that the opponent has great players.

"We'd all like to play well and win, but in reality, at this point, it's all about winning. Getafe are a direct rival, the same as Malaga.

"If we win on Sunday, we'll be looking at things in a whole different light.

"We'll have time to think about our game against Malaga, but right now we have a final to win."

Getafe gave themselves hope of escaping relegation by registering a shock 3-1 victory over Valencia at the Mestalla last weekend.
