Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Estadio El Plantio will host Saturday’s football game between Burgos and Elche, the two teams who are almost level on points in the La Liga 2 standings. Burgos continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home, while struggling on the travels and they are surely capable of matching los Franjiverdes in front of home fans. Matos Jose limped off with injury in a 2-1 loss to Albacete, with Alex Bermejo likely to step up, whereas both Grego Sierra and Unai Elgezabal remain in the recovery room.
Elche, on the other hand, defeated Leganes thanks to Sergio Leon’s goal in their last league match, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Mario Gaspar misses out through suspension, while both Borja Garces and John Donald Chetauya are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
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.
