Zaragoza vs Elche Prediction & Betting tips
Without a doubt, it will be an intense and fought duel throughout the 90 minutes of play. And we say this because both teams are characterized by being competitive despite their soccer limitations. Therefore, and knowing that the “hands” already won in the Rosaleda, we believe that the bet “plus 1.5 goals” is interesting to bet. Remember that the ilicitanos have shown some defense mistakes, but they can fight the game in this tough outing. It looks like it will be a duel dominated by the local, but in which goals can fall without playing well. It is enough to know that the second Spanish division is a league with many surprises to corroborate this statement.
Zaragoza :
The box “maño” visited the Ponferradina last weekend and tied with a 1-1 in a tactical duel and fought throughout the 90 ′ minutes of play. Of course, the parity was somewhat painful, since it was winning 0-1 during much of the game. Zaragoza already has 4 points in the Smartbank League, after defeating Tenerife 2-0 on the opening date.
He has shown interesting things between the lines, being feasible that he can compete at a good level throughout the season. On this occasion, Zaragoza is expected to take the initiative from the initial stage, as it will play with its people in Romareda. Therefore, it is logical that the block forward and attack with several men directly. Remember that in this competition there is not much possession football, being rather vertical at the time of attack.
In defensive matters, he must take care of his rival, since by risking so much he could leave spaces when they try to make collective transitions (defense-attack and attack-defense).
Elche :
The “ilicitano” box arrives toned to this duel after beating Alcorcón 1-2 as a visitor last weekend. The striking thing about that game is that it started by losing 1-0 in the first half. However, he managed to recover from that disadvantage and turned around the score that was finally 2-1. He currently has 3 points in the table, since he previously lost to the newly promoted Ponferradina (0-2). He will seek to become strong at home and not give up more points against rivals of equal or lower level.
This time it is expected that Elche backs the lines steadily and gradually, trying not to leave spaces when marking. If he succeeds he may not receive an early goal and stand well in this difficult league outing.
In attack you will not have so many scoring opportunities, since the most likely thing is that you have little the ball. However, it can generate restlessness in the Romareda if it manages to take advantage of any isolated action or use the stopped ball (corner or free kick near the area).
