Elche double chance against Valencia 4/6 for Friday’s La Liga contest

Competition: La Liga

Market: Elche double chance

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

Hoping to continue on their eye-catching run of form either side of the international break, Elche will host a struggling Valencia on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying what has been an impressive purple patch since making their La Liga return over the summer, the mood in Elche’s camp remains at a real high. In their opening four top-flight contests so far this season, they have recorded two wins, one draw and just a single defeat, scoring three and conceding three in return. Collecting a points tally of seven out of a possible 12, they open Friday’s fixtures sat in 12th and with their goal difference keeping them ahead of this weekend’s guests. As for their recent run of results, picking up a 2-0 win away at Deportivo Alavés after returning from the international break, Elche have collected their seven points over their last three appearances and even more impressive, the hosts have recorded a clean sheet in each of their last three matchups on the bounce.

As for the visitors, enduring what has been another worrying start to the 2020/2021 campaign, Valencia find themselves in the midst of a real struggle. In their opening six La Liga contests this season, they have recorded two wins, one draw and three defeats, scoring eight and conceding nine in return. While they might have played two more fixtures than Friday’s hosts, they have also managed to collect a points tally of just seven and still looking over their shoulder. As for their recent run of results, Valencia were last hit with a 2-1 defeat away at Villarreal after returning from the international break and have now lost back-to-back La Liga appearances. More concerning, the Whites have managed to win just one of their last five top-flight contests and we are backing they should be in for another tricky test on Friday night.
