Odds: Levante (13/10) Draw (21/10) Elche (23/10)Gamingtips Prediction – Levante 1:1 Elche
Levante finished 11th in the Spanish Primera last season scoring 40 goals in 38 games and conceding 57. Elche won the Spanish Segunda division last season and were promoted to the Spanish Primera. They scored 54 goals and conceded 27 (best defensive record in the Segunda division). Both sides have scored relatively few goals so far this season. Levante have scored 13 in their opening 15 games while Elche have scored 15 in 15. Both sides are wildly out of form at the moment and this game could be decided by a solitary goal. Levante haven’t lost in 5 to Elche (4 wins, 1 draw) which could work in their favour while if Elche can rekindle a defensive performance reminiscent of last year, they are sure to come out on top in this tie.
