Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
All eyes will be on Estadio Municipal de Ipurua when Eibar and Elche lock horns in the La Liga 2 round 13. Los Armeros are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team eyeing their fifth win at “Ipurua”, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Both Merquelanz and Nolaskoain are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the Copa del Rey loss to UD Logrones. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, did well to beat lower-league side CD Coria in their Spanish Cup clash, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to the Basque Country. As Elche are undefeated in the previous five games in all competitions, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last meeting in the Spanish second tier the two sides played out a goalless draw. Uruguay forward Agustin Alvarez should be recalled to Elche's starting XI.
