Numancia vs Elche Prediction & Betting tips
The local team starts slightly as favorite due to the field factor and especially because it has good midfield players forward. For that reason and knowing that his performance increases when he acts in “Los Pajaritos”, we believe that the bet “Numancia will win any half” is interesting to bet. Remember that the ilicitanos are combative in their actions, but irregular when marking. It paints to be a duel fought but favorable to Numancia for its greater individual hierarchy.
Numancia:
The team is beaten to this match after losing 3-2 against Lugo as a visitor last weekend. The worst thing about that fall was the way it was played (goal scored in the final play after going 2-0 on a partial basis.) These days, he has 2 points in the table, product of 2 consecutive draws and this fall. If goals are involved, he has scored 6 and has yielded 7 on his fence, demonstrating an imbalance between lines that is more than remarkable.Your short-term goal is to be more orderly when making collective transitions (defense-attack and attack-defense). ).
As a local, Numancia already played a game in Liga2 and the result was a 1-1 equality against Cádiz (draw gestated since the first half). For this duel it is expected that coach Aritz López Garai maintain the 4-3-3 system he has used in this league start, which allows the starters to be intense in attack but irregular in defensive matters. The logic indicates that they risk from the initial stage, trying to take advantage of their greater individual hierarchy.
Elche:
The league start of the team has not been very good to say, after adding only 2 points out of 9 disputed. It comes from registering 2 consecutive draws and falling 0-2 against Reus Deportiu at home. The goal of the squad is to be more regular in their actions, trying to populate the midfield to add in this opportunity. In matter of goals, he has scored 1 and has given 3 on his fence, missing balance in his defensive zone. The logic indicates that the technician Rojo Martín repeats the 4-1-4-1 system that he has been using regularly, which has allowed his boys to be combative despite their serious soccer limitations.
As a visitor, Elche already played a match in the competition and the result was good for their league interests (1-1 draw against Osasuna after losing 1-0 partially). For this exit is expected that the holders take their precautions, as they will collide with an explosive opponent at the time of attack. Of course, it is not ruled out that the ilicitanos may have spaces to attack. In the end, they can reach the goal by means of some punctual play or by using the famous stop ball (corner or free throw near the area).
In the last 6 and a half years, Numancia and Elche have met four times in “Los Pajaritos”. The results of those duels were the following: Victory 3-0 of Numancia in March 2012, triumph 3-1 of Numancia in March 2013, draw 0-0 in September 2015 and draw 2-2 in November 2016.
