Tip and bets
We are not expecting too many goals to be scored in this match - both teams will try to put up a cautious defensive performance in order to pick up points in the first match of a new season. We think that hosts have a slight advantage, but players are in poor physical form so far.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
We are expecting a closely contested game, which might end in a draw. Visitors finished the previous season well and signed some new players. Moreover, none of 10 latest Elche's matches ended in a draw, this streak has to end somewhere.
Our second bet is on a draw
