Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
After failing to win the previous three league matches, Elche will look to give fans some cheer when they welcome Andorra to their Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero on Monday. Los Franjiverdes are eager to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Andorra. The likes of Nicolas Castro, Mourad El Ghezouani, Borja Garces, and John Donald Chetauya miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Albacete (1-3) and Zaragoza (0-1), but beating Elche on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils this time out. Bear in mind, though, that Andorra midfielder Ruben Bover is banned for the match.
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.
