Best Tip: Both teams to score

R.Santander should have reason to feel positive ahead of this fixture and, funnily enough, so might Elche. The bookies don't think there's much between them and neither do we – there's no clear victor in this tie. So our tip looks to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form stats, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and we think that's the tip to go with here.
