Elche vs R. Oviedo Prediction & Betting tips
After the Spanish LaLiga is completed on Sunday evening, the last regular game day is on the program in the Spanish football lower house 24 hours later. With Cadiz and Huesca, the first two promoters have already been determined, the third LaLiga promoters will be ranked third and sixth in the playoff games between the teams.
Three of the four playoff participants have already been determined, in the remote duel Fuenlabrada and Elche fight for last place. Elche needs a victory against Oviedo and also has to hope for help from the rifle.
In the current LaLiga2 table, Elche is two points behind the surprisingly strong newcomer before the last matchday. Since Elche also lost the direct duel (0: 2 and 1: 3), the chances of Elche returning to LaLiga are extremely slim. In addition, with Oviedo, a strong team is waiting for the team of head coach Pacheta. The game starts on Monday evening at 20:00 p.m.
Elche :
A roller coaster ride of feelings has been the last decade for fans of Elche. After returning to the Spanish LaLiga, there was a forced relegation in the second year due to financial problems and in 2017/18 the club played only third class. However, the direct return was successful and Elche was classified in eleventh place in the middle of the previous year.
The season so far has had some ups and downs for Elche. Three league games could not be won in a row, but there is still a theoretical chance of reaching the promotion playoffs before the last matchday. The Spanish LaLiga2 is extremely balanced and the point difference between the table sixth and the table third last is just 13 points.
Anyone can beat anyone and so it is not surprising that despite the almost completely balanced balance sheet (15-13-13) Elche can be found far ahead.
Should the likely case arise that the playoffs will take place without moose, this is certainly due to the last days and weeks. Only two of the last seven league games ended with a moose victory. A matchball was only awarded during the week when Elche had to defeat 3-1 in a direct duel with Fuenlabrada.
Not only the difficult starting position, but also the own form do not necessarily give hope for a small miracle. Value is definitely not to be discovered between Elche and Oviedo when predicting the home side, because the betting odds offered are significantly too low for this.
Oviedo:
Real Oviedo also has a past in the Spanish LaLiga, at the turn of the millennium Oviedo was still an integral part of the Spanish football upper house before the club disappeared from the scene for a long time and was only represented in third class. Real Oviedo has only been back in the second division since the 2015/16 season, always reaching a place between seven and nine. The promotion playoffs were missed extremely thin again and again.
In the current season, the dream of returning to La Liga was not an issue, but the fear of relegation was always present. For almost the entire season, Oviedo moved just above / below the ominous line. On matchday 38, for example, Oviedo was still on a relegation zone.
Meanwhile, the team of head coach Cuco Ziganda has been saved and can play the last league game of the year without any pressure. In the past few weeks, Oviedo has presented itself in an outstanding form. Three wins have been celebrated in the last three league games, making Real Oviedo 14th.
Not only because of the three victories in a row – incidentally for the first time this season – Oviedo is in top form, but this has already been indicated in the past weeks and months. Of the last twelve league games, Oviedo only suffered narrow defeats against Numancia and promoted Cadiz. In the remaining ten games, seven wins and three draws were won. Oviedo is in top shape and therefore the quotas offered for the guests on Monday evening between Elche and Oviedo appear significantly too high.
