Best Tip: Villarreal to win

As the stadium fills and the Villarreal players ready themselves for this clash, the bookmakers have predicted a win for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below point in that direction too, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we use in our predictive algorithms. The Estadio de la Cerámica has not been a happy hunting ground for for Elche in the past, and we we think that will be the case again on Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.
