La Liga 2 has us anticipating Córdoba traveling to Elche as the result of this match could be the difference between relegation or staying up for one of these teams.

Elche

Elche’s performances and finishes have been up and down in the Spanish football system over the last 12 years, seeing mid table finishes in La Liga to being relegated all the way down to Primera Federación. The aim for this season will have to change if they are unable to grab a result in this match against Cordoba. The 2023/24 season saw them end the campaign in 11th place with 16 wins, 15 losses and 11 draws, totalling 59 points but goal difference was the reason they finished lower than they should have. Four teams finished with the same tally of points so if Elche were better defensively then they could have achieved an eighth placed spot.

The Alicante based side haven’t gotten off to the best of starts this season either, losing both of their first two games 0-1 and 1-0 against SD Huesca and Albacete respectively. Improvements are needed if they want to aim for those Playoff spaces once more so grabbing a win in this match will be crucial for Elche.

Córdoba

Córdoba were unfortunate not to be Primera Federación Group 2 champions as they fell short of that accolade by five points. In the end it didn’t matter for them as they made it into La Liga 2 by way of the Promotion Final, defeating Barca Atletic 3-2 over an aggregate score. They have ambitions of making it back to La Liga after their 10 year absence and this match is great for them to try and do so.

After two games, Córdoba are currently in 14th place, a draw and a loss. This game against Elche sees them without the suspended Adrián Lapeña as he is serving a ban for receiving a red card as well as this match gives La Docta the opportunity to amend their streak of five games without a clean sheet. This will be contested the whole 90 minutes making sure that it will give the neutrals watching the game plenty of entertainment.

What’s the tip?

Our betting experts have gone with Elche To Win. Elche should see this match through and leave the match with all three points. This match could just as easily end in a draw, but we have a feeling that it will go in favour for Los Franjiverdes.
