Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Elche
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Espanyol
There will be fireworks when Elche and Espanyol square off against each other at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero in the Segunda Division derby. Elche aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sporting Gijon, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Borja Garces limped off with injury in the last league match, with Mourad El Ghezouani likely to step up.
Los Periquitos, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous ten league matches. The Catalan outfit aim to climb to the automatic promotion berth, but beating Elche on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. The bad news for the visiting side is that Nico Melamed suffered an injury in a 1-1 draw with Andorra. Alvaro Aguado is widely expected to replace him in the starting XI.
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.
