Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that R.Vallecano and Elche will score 2 or more goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Iñigo Pérez Soto or Eder Sarabia Armesto has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.33 equating to about a 74% probability.
