Elche
Racing Santander will look to put an end to their three-game winless run when they take on Elche in the La Liga round 29. Los Racinguistas have been involved in some high-scoring games and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be pacey winger Andres Martin, who produced a brilliant display in a 2-2 draw with Eibar at the weekend, while defender Javi Montero serves a one-game ban.
Los Franjiverdes, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Cartagena. Elche, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Racing Santander. Earlier this season, Elche crushed Racing Santander 3-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Both Rashani and Santiago are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
