Almería - Elche betting tips and odds

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.75, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Elche will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Almería’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Real Madrid as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:2 loss for Almería.

Few La Liga betting tips saw Elche’s victory in the previous round coming, despite the home-field advantage they had. Even more surprising, however, was the complete decisiveness with which they achieved it: they were leading throughout the game’s runtime and ended the bout with a 4:0 goal difference.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Elche and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

Almería may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Elche this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Elche will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Pedro Bigas, Helibelton Palacios, Omar Mascarell will all be unable to perform.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.7 odds offered at Betsson.
