Competition: La Liga

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/11 @ 888sport

Hoping to try and find a route into the top-half of the La Liga table on Friday night, Elche will make the trip to Levante when this weekend’s top-flight fixtures open up.

Starting with the hosts, while Levante might have managed to find somewhat of a boost over the past fortnight, they do appear to be freefalling their way down to the Segunda. In their 25 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a pair of wins, nine draws and 14 defeats, scoring 25 and conceding 51 in return. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table and nine points adrift of safety, it should also be noted that Levante hold the worst defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo on the road, Friday’s hosts have still recorded just a single home victory this season. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, the leading relegation scrappers have seen nine of their last 10 contests finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, enjoying what has been a largely impressive run of form, Elche have their sights firmly set on clinching a top-half finish this year. In their 25 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, eight draws and 10 defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 34 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 29, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 13th in the table and just three points adrift of breaking into the top-10. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 win at home against Rayo Vallecano, Elche have lost just a pair of their last nine matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with Friday’s guests seeing four of their last five domestic contests finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
