Real Valladolid - Elche betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Elche are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Real Valladolid should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

Elche will have little to hope for in this match. 4.60 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Real Valladolid kept up the pace with a tough match-up against Valencia in the previous round, but they stumbled towards the end. They had to contend with a narrow 0:1 home defeat after the final whistle.

Elche faced Getafe in the previous round as hosts. With most bookmakers online pricing a home win at 4.75, even the draw at half-time was somewhat surprising. The stalemate didn’t last, however, and Getafe decisively won the game 1:3.

Real Valladolid fans at Estadio Municipal José Zorrilla have seen a lot of concessions lately – 6 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

With 6 goals in Elche’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

We can safely say that the mid-season is here, and Valladolid’s results are far from perfect. Just three places keep them away from the relegation zone and 2 points away from the drop suggest instant improvement is needed. Despite the odds favouring them in round 19, they have their work cut out for them if they wish to go higher than the current 17th table position.

The season hasn’t been going great for Elche. They’re stuck at 18th place, well within the relegation zone. To make things worse, their chances of earning points against Real Valladolid are not great either.
