Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may not be what the neutrals want to hear, but we don't predict a high-scoring affair here. The statistics suggest Elche and Espanyol both are capable of keeping it tight at the back, and the odds are leaning towards there being fewer than 2 goals in total as they go head-to-head. We think that's a great shout and, without an obvious outright winners to back, under 2.5 goals seems a good bet.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Elche are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 48% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.05.

Goal Statistics

Espanyol's defensive record is to be admired, J. González Álvarez's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive La Liga 2 games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Elche CF makes sense in this context.
