Elche - SD Eibar betting tips and odds

Most online bookmakers don’t put see Elche winning as a likely outcome, and we tend to agree. In fact, they are the clear underdogs compared to SD Eibar, which is made quite clear with the 3.80 odds offered for a home win result.

Though SD Eibar are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.20 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Elche’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Celta de Vigo as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:1 loss for Elche.

Despite being considered slightly stronger than their opponents and having home-field advantage, SD Eibar tied with Real Valladolid in their previous La Liga match.

Experts have pointed at Elche’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 La Liga games.

All 7 of SD Eibar’s latest away games featured at least one goal from them. It’s very unlikely that they won’t bag at least one more in round 24.

The season hasn’t been going great for Elche. They’re stuck at 19th place, well within the relegation zone. There will be plenty of chances to place better, though online bookmakers don’t think their odds of earning points this Saturday are great.

Relegation is not that close for Elche yet, but they’re definitely on the road towards it. The away game at ElcheS threatens to push them even further down, but they’ll have plenty of time to record better results in the future.

SD Eibar already showed us that they can occasionally stumble. Their most recent clash with Elche, which happened earlier in the season, ended in a loss despite most bookies seeing them as the favourites.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Fidel, Jony Carmona, Nino have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

The William Hill sportsbook is offering 2.0 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
