Elche vs Real Valladolid Prediction: Don’t expect a productive match

The second match of Saturday's La Liga pool will take place in Elche, where the local team will face Valladolid. It is a meeting between teams from the bottom of the Spanish league table.

Elche

In the last round, Elche sensationally beat Mallorca away with a score of 1:0. Before that, the future hosts had lost three matches in a row: against Real Madrid, Espanyol, and Betis. Before the start of the 25th matchday, Elche finished 20th in the Championship standings, 13 points behind the saving 17th position. That means Elche is behind Sevilla more than they have in their assets. It is evident that Elche's chances to remain in the elite of the Spanish championship tend to zero, but they are still there, and as we can see, the team is trying to cling to points. Elche's home statistics are also the worst in the division, +1=3-8, 10:20 goal difference.

Real Valladolid

Valladolid also won the last round of the championship. They beat Espanyol with a score of 2:1 on their home field. Before this victory, Valladolid lost away to Celta and Betis and played a 0:0 home draw against Osasuna. The league position of Valladolid is much better than their future opponents. The visitors are in 14th place with an asset of 27 points and a two-point gap from Almeria, the team from the relegation zone. Valladolid's away stats are 17th in the league, +2=1-9, and a 7:24 goal difference.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams need points, but Elche, as they say, needs more. In turn, Valladolid will be fine with an away draw, keeping the club out of the relegation zone for a significant percentage. As for the total, we think that the upcoming match won't be productive as the teams from the bottom part of the table will meet with not the strongest attacking lines. Our betting choice is a draw match, in which Elche will manage to get points. We will not be surprised if they get three points at once.
