Girona
Two sides which love a good draw face off this Sunday in La Liga, as Elche host a rather dissapointing Girona side who have won just twice in 14 league matches, whilst Elche have won three times. Elche have drew three out of their last three home games, and are still unbeaten in their fortress, accompanied by the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, whilst Girona haven't won an away game, interesting.
Key Betting Tips: Elche double chance at 1.33 odds on BoyleSports represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.
Alternatively, Elche to win at 2.00 provides good value, as they host a side with zero away wins to their name, as the home team boast a 7 game unbeaten streak at home this season, winning three and drawing four.
As detailed by our in-house tipster with the helps of AI and over 200 data points, the current probabilites for key match events are as follows:
Home Win (%) - 46.70 Away Win (%) - 13.30 Draw (%) - 40.00 Expected Home Goals - 1.20 Expected Away Goals - 1.00 Both Teams to Score (%) - 66.70
Our algorithmic AI tool indicates that a cagey affair is what we have ahead of us, with the tie being decided by just one goal in favour of Elche rather than Girona, as they represent a 46.7% chance of taking the three points, and a combined 86.7% chance of not losing.
The model predicts that there is a decent chance of both teams scoring however, with confidence of 66.7% chance of this taking place, taking into account their recent head-to-head form, in which Girona have won the past three matches, scoring 6 goals and conceding once.
This fixture has seen under 3.5 goals in every game since 2016, which adds to 8 consecutive games, and in seven of them, there has been under 2.5 goals, so a tight affair is what we see the outcome of this match will end up.
Elche 1-1 Girona
The home side are unbeaten in the competiton at their ground, but have never been convincing against Girona, who managed to draw against second in the league Real Madrid in their last La Liga outing, so we predict that they can get a goal and scrape a draw, continuing Elche's drawing streak at home.

Girona:
Elche's last win in La Liga came all the way back in September, where they beat Celta Vigo 2-1 at home, and since then, their domestic form has been rather woeful to say the least. Defeats to teams such as Deportivo, Espanyol and Getafe display a low sense of confidence on the road, losing all of those games by either not scoring, or by two goals. Elche don't seem to have a problem holding onto the ball however, but when it comes to chance creation, they lack the spark which could push them higher in the table, as their xG is a measly 15.0, which is the 8th lowest in the division. Unbeaten at home however we do expect them to get a result here, but form suggests it won't be easy, and it may not even be a win.
Girona have really fell straight into the dumps in recent time, having finished fourth in the 24/24 campaign, most of their star players walked out the door to pursue bigger and brighter opportunites, but it's no excuse for their dismal season so far. 0 wins on the road displays a lack of confidence with less supporting fans, and nerves will only begin to grow as long as this record stands. 26 goals conceded in14 games ranks them at the bottom of the pile tied with Levante, as they sit just three points from 20th place. However they are starting to find their rythm, standing at three games unbeaten, beating Deportivo and drawing to two incredible teams; Real Betis and Real Madrid.
A draw is looking likely if we base it off the H2H and recent form, as Elche will fight for their lives to keep this incredible streak at home going.

Elche Recent Matches
Elche have been struggling in La Liga recently, but a draw to giants Real Madrid in their most recent outing can serve as a huge confidence boost ahead of this tie.
Girona Recent Matches
A few decent results in recent times for Girona could spark an interesting outcome ahead of this affair, in which they big underdogs.
Football Park's Best Bet: Elche double chance @ 1.33. Our team of in-house experts has priced Elche to either win or draw in this match, as they remain one of five teams in the league to be unbeaten at home this season, whilst Girona are yet to win an away game this season.
Azzedine Ounahi: Although we predict Girona to lose in this affair, we can't take away how phenomenal Ounahi has been in this La Liga campaign, scoring three goals in nine games, most recently in the 1-1 draw against Real Madrid. The Morrocan has taken 19 shots in his campaign so far, and created 9 chances for his teammates, but none of them have been tucked away unfortunately. His dribbling ranks him number one in his position, succeeding at 26 dribbles in just nine games, whilst winning a staggering 29 fouls in that time. The 25-year-old signed from Panathinaikos this season following a dim spell at Marseille, and has won 63 duels in his 694 minutes for Girona in La Liga. He has certainly been the brightest in the side, and can make a real impact on Sunday
