Football – Spain – Segunda Division Betting Tips
Elche know they must keep their unbeaten run going in the Spanish Segunda Division if they’re to maintain their challenge for a play-off place at the end of the season when they take on relegation candidates Albacete at their Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
Elche are unbeaten in their last eight matches overall and they are now level on points with sixth placed Real Oviedo along with possessing a strong home record of 8-8-2 19/13. The hosts are also unbeaten in their last 11 home matches which includes back-to-back wins over Real Zaragoza and Lugo.
The hosts also possess stand-out striker Sergio Leon who has notched 20 goals so far this season, and looks the most likely anytime goalscorer for the home side here.
Visitors Albacete make the trip to Elche on the back of four defeats from their last five matches having suffered defeats to Lugo, Deportivo Alaves, Tenerife and Girona and they now sit second from bottom in the Segunda Division some eight points adrift of safety.
An away record of 2-3-12 13/29 shouldn’t strike the fear into Elche either as the visitors have lost six of their last seven matches on their travels in addition to failing to score on eight occasions so far this term.
Just one clean sheet in 17 away matches tells its own story, and the visitors are expected to have their backs to the wall again this afternoon as Elche chase down a play-off place.
