Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Home Win – 2.87 

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Over 2.5 Total match goals – 2.20 

Match Predict – Home Win

Elche are probably the team in the lower-middle of the table that have improved the most in the last two months, and this has been reflected in their home games, winning four of their last six home games. Continuing with these good feelings, we think they can beat Valencia, a team that have been very irregular this season.

Over 2.5 Total match goals

Valencia are one of the teams whose away games generate the most total goals, so far averaging 3.14 total goals per game, largely due to their serious defensive problems which have contributed to them conceding a lot of goals so far.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Elche vs Valencia

Despite three defeats in their last five games, Elche are on an upward trend in the competition, having moved away from the danger zone and often demonstrating a style of play that is hard work and admirable considering that they started the season as one of the weakest teams in terms of squad.

Elche is not a team that stands out for taking many shots per game, as they maintain an average of 9.68 shots per game, however the quality of their shots are quite good, as almost half of them are either saved by the opposing goalkeepers or end in goal, with an average of 4.00 shots on target per game.

Valencia, for their part, are having a “crazy” season, with lively games and plenty of goals, 84 goals in 28 games, an average of three total goals per game. 

In addition, Valencia are the second team whose matches have so far ended with more than 2.5 total goals, something that has happened in 17 matches out of 28 played so far. As an away team they occupy the same position in this respect.

Valencia’s defensive weaknesses are very noticeable in the final stages of their matches, as so far, between the 1st and 40th minutes of the match they have conceded 19 goals, while from the 41st minute until the end of the match they have conceded a total of 24 goals, and between the 81st and 90th minutes of the match the period in which they have conceded the most goals so far, with nine goals in those minutes.

Valencia: Mamardashvili, Jesús Vázquez, Alderete, Paulista, Diakhaby, Foulquier, Carlos Soler, Guillamón, Bryan Gyl, Guedes, Duro.

Highlighted Player

Pere Milla

Pere Milla, one of Elche’s captains, is in a very good form, in fact, he was recently nominated among the best players of the month of February in La Liga Santander. He is an attacker, but he is always helping with defensive tasks, a very complete player that any coach would like to have in his team.
