Command Analysis
Elche promoted to top-flight for the first time in last eight years, when they were disqualified for financial fraud. In current season White-Greens are struggling and lying on the relegation zone after 31 rounds.
Fran Escriba's team won 5 matches and held 11 draws, which gives them 26 points and 19th place in the standings. In five last games hosts snatched only two points - against Getafe (1:1) and Betis (1:1). Elche have second-worst defensive record - they conceded 48 goals this season.
Carrillo, who have a muscle injury, won't play in this game.
Valladolid finished 13th last season and despite the expectations didn't even fought in the relegation battle. But in the current season their results declined and they dropped to relegation zone.

After a win over Getafe (2:1) White and Violets played two draws - with Osasuna (0:0) and Sevilla (1:1), on which we made our prediction.

Tip and bets
Both teams are highly motivated to win. We think that hosts will gain an upper hand, because Elche will play on home ground and guests will have a depleted squad for this game.
Our prediction - Elche to win with handicap (0).
Neither of the opponents have a weak defense, but in head-to-head games those teams usually create many goal-scoring opportunites, so we can expect a high amount of goals.
Second wager - total over 2,5 goals.
