Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Elche and Cadiz take on each other at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in the La Liga round 16. Los Franjiverdes played out a 1-1 draw with Osasuna at the weekend, with the team extending their winless run to seven games. Elche are eager to return to winning ways in Primera Division, and they should take advantage of the current situation in the away team. Head coach Sergio Mantecon has a full squad to choose from.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid, and seeing that Elche are desperate to return to winning ways, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. All Martin Calderon, Tomas Alarcon, Jose Mari, and Jon Ander Garrido are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
