Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Villarreal B and Elche square off against each other at Estadio de la Ceramica in what is expected to be an interesting Segunda Division game. The Yellow Submarine are determined to escape the relegation zone and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the promotion-chasing visitors. Both Novoa Ramos and Romero are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while Hugo Perez remains on the sidelines with an ACL problem.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Cartagena and Alcorcon in the previous two league matches and given Villarreal B’s under-par performance in the defeat to Eldense, away triumph should be considered. As for the visiting side, Mourad El Ghezouani is a major doubt, while fellow forward Oscar Plano remains on the sidelines with a ligament injury.
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.
