Prediction: 2-1
Oviedo
Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero will host Friday’s football game between Elche and Real Oviedo, the two promotion-chasing sides. Los Franjiverdes aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Levante and Ferrol and you should know that they are eyeing their tenth home win of the process. Keep in mind, though, that both Pedro Bigas (defender) and Josan (forward) are banned for the match. Los Azules, on the other hand, recorded a very important 2-1 win over Villarreal B at the weekend to stay in the playoffs berth.
Real Oviedo, though, are not considered good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Elche this time out. The opposition back-line should have Alemao at bay as the 26-year-old Brazil forward scored a brace in the triumph over the Yellow Submarine. The likes of Santiago Cazorla, David Costas, Mario Hernandez, and Rodrigo Tarin are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
