Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio Municipal de Malata will host Sunday’s football game between Ferrol and Elche. The Galicians produced a fine display in a 1-1 draw with Albacete and it has to be noted that they failed to convert two penalty kicks in the Estadio Carlos Belmonte clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Alvaro Vadillo, Chuca, and Luca Ferrone remain in the recovery room.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Levante, with the team dropping a two-goal advantage. Elche, though, look sharp in front of goal and given Ferrol’s fine offensive performance against El Queso Mecanico, both teams to score betting option should be considered. As for the away side, defender Mario Gaspar misses the game through suspension, while experienced forward Oscar Plano remains on the sidelines with a ligament injury.
Highlighted Team (Elche):
Established in 1923, Elche is a Spanish club that competes in La Liga. Los Franjiverdes welcome their rivals at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, the stadium which can hold up to 33,732 spectators. The venue was opened on September 8, 1976.
Elche wear white shirts with green stripe and white shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The club’s biggest success came in 1969 as Elche made it to the Copa del rey final. Los Franjiverdes faced Club Atletico de Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final, with the Basques winning the match by one goal to nil.
The likes of Mario Pasalic, Ivan Bolado, Garry Rodrigues, Goran Djorovic, Albert Nadj, Wakaso, Moha, Carlos Sanchez, Ioan Andone, Enzo Roco, Dominique Malonga, Richmond Boakye, and Sory Kaba are some of the notable players who were part of the team in the past. Elche have never represented Spain in European competitions.
