Victor Chust says Elche will chase victory over Girona
Elche defender Victor Chust declared that his side will aim for a win against Girona rather than settle for a draw. The match is the decisive fixture in the battle for survival for both clubs.
Elche secured a victory over Getafe in the previous round, putting them in a position where a draw would keep them afloat but a win would guarantee safety. A failure to win would leave them dependent on other results to avoid relegation.
Girona also faces the same imperative, needing a win to stay clear of the drop. The upcoming clash therefore carries high stakes for both teams.
Chust emphasized that his team “doesn’t know how to play to draw” and will therefore go after “victory” in Girona. His comments underline the aggressive approach the club intends to adopt.
With both sides requiring three points, a stalemate would likely see them both embroiled in the relegation fight. The result could shape the final league table and determine which club remains in the top division.
The fixture will be played on the next matchday, and both squads are expected to field their strongest line‑ups. Fans of both clubs anticipate a tense encounter.
The outcome will be a key factor in the season’s survival battle, and the clubs will be under pressure to deliver the required result. A win for either side could secure their place in the division.
