Elche - Almería betting tips and odds

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Almería can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Although Elche are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Real Betis , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Almería’s previous La Liga outing was very uneven in their opponents’ favour. Although the match was played at Almería’s home stadium, their chances to beat Real Madrid were very low. They somehow managed to end the first half ahead – but the surprising lead melted away in the second half, resulting in a 1:2 loss.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Gonzalo Verdú, Javier Pastore, Lucas Boyé are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Elche’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Though a Home Win seems like a sure bet here, we would advise securing it additionally with a Draw No Bet. Elche have been known to lack consistency at times, so removing the possibility of a draw is well worth reducing the odds to 1.67.
