Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Elche will be aiming to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Racing Santander when they take on Huesca in the La Liga 2 round 39. Los Franjiverdes are eager to climb to the playoffs berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Huesca. Carlos Clerc has overcome his injury, while John Donald Chetauya is back from suspension. Antonio Hidalgo’s men, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league matches.
Considering that Elche are eager to climb to the playoffs berth, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s football match. Ruben Pulido remains in the recovery room, while fellow defender Gerard Valentin is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Javi Mier is widely expected to return to the starting eleven.
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.
