Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Castellon will try to recover from a massive 5-1 loss to Deportivo La Coruna when they face Elche in the La Liga 2 round 21. Los Albinegros are eyeing their third consecutive win at home ground and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Elche. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but midfielder Daniel Villahermosa should be recalled to the starting XI. Fit-again defender Jetro Willems is widely expected to start from the bench.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Racing Santander. Elche looked sharp in front of goal in the midweek triumph and given Castellon’s attacking potential at home ground, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Agustin Alvarez is rated doubtful for the visiting team after limping off with injury in the triumph over los Racinguistas.
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.
