Elche - Atlético Madrid betting tips and odds

There is a big reason why Elche are given 9.00 to win this game. They stand little to no chance emerging victorious against Atlético Madrid and anything but their defeat would be considered a miracle.

Priced at very short odds of 1.45, and away win seems the most logical outcome here. Elche may be hoping to pull off a draw or surprise win, but both of these are longshots.

The hosts can count themselves fortunate to have avoided a bigger defeat in their last La Liga outing. They were seen as the 5.10 underdogs to claim what would have been a rather shocking away win and a narrow Almería beating they took will not leave too deep a dent in their confidence.

Los Rojiblancos never really broke a sweat against Cádiz as they recorded a pretty straightforward 5:1 victory last time out in the La Liga. Having taken an early lead in the first half they only brought it home for a rather convincing and morale-boosting win.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Elche don’t tend to fare too well at Estadio Martínez Valero despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

With 13 goals in their previous 3 La Liga matches, Atletico boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

The home team are in a tight spot. Having already lost bunch of matches in the league, they are set to welcome Los Rojiblancos in a tough game that could decide their faith. Bookmakers do not give them big chances of winning at 9.00 so if you believe in miracles, go easy on the stake.

Atletico are 16 behind the best-placed team. Top online bookmakers consider them very likely to take 3 points at ElcheS, but it may be too late in the season to hope for a championship title.

Los Rojiblancos won the home game they played against Elche earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Jan Oblak, Stefan Savić, Llorente, Reinildo, while Pedro Bigas, Helibelton Palacios, Omar Mascarell, J. Carmona Navarro will not play for the home team.

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 1.75 odds offered at Betsson.
