Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 2/3 @ 888sport

In a real battle at the foot of the La Liga table, Elche will host Alaves from behind closed doors on Tuesday night in what could be another low-scoring encounter.

Starting with the hosts, slumping back to losing ways and continuing on what has been an extended blip, Elche find themselves in an uphill battle to extend on their La Liga status. In their 35 top-flight matchups this season, they have recorded six wins, 12 draws and 17 defeats, scoring 29 and conceding 52 in return. Along with managing to muster themselves a points tally of 30 and opening the midweek fixtures sat a single point adrift of safety, it should also be noted that Elche hold the third-worst attacking record in La Liga. As for their recent run of results, last seen suffering a 2-0 defeat against Real Sociedad, Tuesday’s hosts have managed to record just a single win in their last 10 top-flight contests. it’s also worth highlighting that Elche have seen each of their last five La Liga matchups finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, managing to pick up some much-needed points over the past month, Alaves simply have their sights set on trying to extend their buffer over the drop zone in midweek. In their 35 La Liga contests this season, they have recorded seven wins, 11 draws and 17 defeats, scoring 30 and conceding 54 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 32, they open the midweek fixtures sat 16th in the table and holding a two-point buffer from dropping into the bottom-three. As for their recent run of results, while Alaves might have managed to pick up just a pair of points from their last three La Liga matchups, they have lost just one of their previous six top-flight contests. However, managing to record just a single strike in any of their last four contests on the road, we’re backing what could be a cagey affair on Tuesday night.
