Elche
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Betis
Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero will host Friday’s football game between Elche and Real Betis, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Los Franjiverdes are stuck at the bottom with only nine points in their pockets, and they must be low on spirits following a heart-breaking loss to Espanyol. Jose Angel Carmona is banned for the match, while all Pere Milla, Alex Collado, John Donald Chetauya, and Jony Alamo miss out with injuries.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, are eyeing a spot in the Champions League, and given their fine performances in back-to-back wins over Almeria (3-2) and Real Valladolid (2-1), we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Andalusian outfit. All Borja Iglesias, Rodrigo Sanchez, Paul Akouokou, and Juan Cruz should miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
