Elche - Girona betting tips and odds

Elche have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Girona. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Despite playing away, Girona are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.50, we’re in for a close game.

Elche lost their previous La Liga game against Real Valladolid , but they did so as clear underdogs. They played as visitors against considerably stronger opposition, who secured an early lead which lead into a narrow 2:1 loss for Elche.

Girona must be feeling confident after the performance they gave the fans at Estadio Martínez Valero during the second half of the last round’s match. Despite the very difficult matchup against Athletic Bilbao and mediocre first half, they nabbed a narrow 2:1 home win in the end.

Elche have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Girona can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

The hosts are looking invariably shaky in their form. After several blunders in the early season brought them to the relegation zone, they’ll have to face down Girona and likely lose.

Girona have a 2-point buffer zone between them and the relegation zone. Though it’s still early in the season, they’ll have to work hard if they want to consider this season success before the end.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Juanpe, Samu Sáiz, I. Kebe, Borja Garcia, while Helibelton Palacios, Javier Pastore, Fidel, Federico Fernández 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 2.12 odds offered at Unibet.
