Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
After rolling over Las Palmas (4-0) in the Copa del Rey last 32, Elche will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Zaragoza in the La Liga 2 round 22. Los Franjiverdes are brimming with confidence following three consecutive wins in all competitions and we are positive that they will adopt another attack-minded approach against Zaragoza. In-form Morocco forward Mourad El Ghezouani is widely expected to return to the starting line-up after coming as a substitute in the Spanish Cup game. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Blanquillos, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Racing Ferrol and they managed to get one thanks to Ager Aketxe’s goal. Zaragoza, though, are on a four-game winless run on the road, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the high-flying hosts. The likes of Bazdar, Borge, and Soberon should miss out with injuries for the away team.
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.
