Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Andorra, Racing Santander will look to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on Elche in the La Liga 2 round 38. Los Racinguistas are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for Jose Alberto Lopez’s troops. The 41-year-old tactician should have a full squad to choose from against Elche.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, aim to retain their spot in top six as well. Elche and Racing Santander seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Midfielder John Donald Chetauya misses out through suspension, while both Carlos Clerc and Borja Garces are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
