Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Sparkles will be flying when Eibar and Elche face each other at Estadio Municipal de Ipurua on Saturday afternoon. Los Armeros experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Racing Santander, and they are surely capable of making life difficult for los Franjiverdes. Both Gutierrez and Alvarez are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the season opener, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Elche, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to newcomers Ferrol. Since the visitors will go for a victory in Saturday’s clash as well, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in round 2. As for the away team, summer signing Cristian Salvador is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the opening match of the season.
