Granada - Elche betting tips and odds

Elche will give Granada a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.25 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Granada is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Elche.

Granada were hoping they would be able to pull a surprise in their last La Liga game. That was the impression after the first half at least when Granada had it all level on a difficult outing. However, they were unable to fight the pressure off and ended up suffering a proper beating in the second half for a convincing Valencia away defeat.

Elche’s previous La Liga outing was very uneven in their opponents’ favour. Although the match was played at Elche’s home stadium, their chances to beat Barcelona 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.

Granada have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 La Liga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 La Liga engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The hosts could earn some points in this game, though it won’t be easy. Still, a victory would be quite welcome considering they have just 1 point separating them from the relegation zone. Especially since the end of the season is already in sight.

Elche are going into round 28 in an unenviable. They’re not in the relegation zone yet, but their 14th placement is still at risk. The difficult upcoming match means that staying safe will not be easy.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Granada played against Elche on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Neyder Lozano, Maxime Gonalons, Santiago Arias will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

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 2.23 odds offered at Unibet.
