On Sunday evening, Elche and Cadiz clash at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero as the visitors look to secure their La Liga survival.
Elche form guideThe already-relegated home team has found decent form of late in the Spanish top flight, as a 1-0 win at Athletic Club means that Elche are unbeaten in their last four matches in La Liga. Even with their recent improvement in form, they are still 16 points from safety.
Their recent matches in the Spanish top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four games in La Liga.
Elche’s recent home form has also improved of late in the Spanish top flight, as they are unbeaten on home soil in three matches, having recorded two victories and a draw. Their recent home games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches on home soil.
Cadiz form guideUnlike their opponents, the Yellow Submarine still have a chance of staying up. In fact, a win would secure their La Liga status for next season, as the visitors are currently in 15th place and two points clear of the relegation zone. A draw could also be enough if things go their way elsewhere.
Sergio’s team has finished the season inconsistently, heading into this clash after three wins and three defeats in their last six matches in La Liga. Last time out in the league, they recorded what could be a massive 1-0 home win over Celta Vigo.
Cadiz’s poor recent away record is a poor one, as they have failed to win in their previous four matches on their travels, having suffered three consecutive away defeats. Their recent away games in La Liga have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight matches.
What am I backing?Elche’s results have been solid of late, while Cadiz's have been unpredictable. I can see this game being a tight, low-scoring clash, so I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
