Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero will host Saturday’s football game between Elche and Levante. Los Franjiverdes are desperate to escape the relegation zone, and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against los Levantinos. Since the visitors have little to play for in the season finale, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the relegation-threatened hosts. You should bear in mind that Elche are eyeing their fourth home win of the season.
Levante, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the standings. The visitors failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Villarreal (1-5) and Sevilla (0-1), and given the importance of Saturday’s clash for Elche, home win should be considered. Carlos Clerc returns from suspension, while Jose Campana, Nemanja Radoja, Jorge Miramon, and Nikola Vukcevic are all out of contention through injuries.
