Atlético Madrid - Elche betting tips and odds

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Atlético Madrid. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Elche, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 15.00.

The hosts’ most recent La Liga engagement did not go as planned. Pre-match betting odds gave them a good shot at winning despite playing away, but they quickly found themselves trailing behind their opponents. This went on for most of the match, which ultimately resulted in a close 1:0 defeat.

The away team are coming off of a very difficult matchup against Girona. They lost 1:2 after spending most of the runtime playing from behind. It’s safe to say that such an outcome was expected by most La Liga betting predictions, and they’ll need to set their sights on a more manageable opponent.

Elche are coming on the back of 3 consecutive defeats. The season is not a disaster for them quite yet – though it’s getting there.

As far as the recent history of this matchup goes, the records show a decisive victory by Atletico Madrid last season. They even secured a solid lead, which is part of the reason most bookies consider them to be the favourites in this matchup.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.79 at 888Sport.
