Getafe - Elche predictions

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Elche are still on the table.

It would be a minor miracle for Elche to win at Getafe, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.03 price on most online sportsbooks.

Getafe are coming on the back of a narrow 0:1 home defeat. They managed to hold back Atlético Madrid in the first half – which is a success in its own right, considering the balance of power.

Elche are here on the back of a 2:2 draw at home. While the score records show that the match was not all that exciting, it’s important to remember that they went in with odds of 1.44. With that in mind, it’s clear that they performed above most expectations.

If you’re looking for an Under 5 Goals football bet, Getafe may offer a decent opportunity. Their previous two matches even confirmed the Under 5 Goals market.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Elche’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

The home team managed to win 17 points so far and climb up to be number 7th in the standings. The battle is fat from over, though – winning against Elche will not be easy, and most of the season is yet to be played.

Elche are 1 point behind a Europa League qualifying spot, and reaching it is likely their main goal for the time being. On one hand, the season is still in its early stages, leaving plenty of time to get there. On the other, this matchup against Getafe is heavily in the home team’s favour, and the visitors will be lucky to earn even a single point.

Friday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 2.27 odds offer a decent return.
