Espanyol vs Elche Match Preview

Espanyol vs Elche Match Preview

Monday wrap-up of round 20!

Tonight at RCDE Stadium the determined squads of Espanyol and Elche will face each other in the final game of round 20 in LaLiga. These teams are desperate for the points, especially Elche. This match is of huge importance and absolutely a perfect chance to set a better course in the second half of the season for both crews. Namely, Espanyol currently sits in the 11th position with 26 points, and Elche on the other hand is at the 18th spot with only 16 points on their account. So be ready to witness a huge football fight and plenty of excitement tonight in Barcelona.

Espanyol FC has a score of 7 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses. Recently, the Parakeets after winning two games in a row were followed by defeats. For instance after beating Real Sociedad (1:0) and Solares (Copa del Rey – 3:2) they lost to Rayo Vallecano (1:0). Then after beating Levante (4:3) and Palencia CA (Copa del Rey – 2:1) they lost to Celta Vigo (3:1). In their last two games Espanyol ended up as the winners against Valencia (2:1) and Ponferradina (Copa del Rey – after penalties), so it’s going to be very interesting tonight to see if they manage to add a third consecutive win.

Elche CF, however, has a score of 3 wins, 7 draw games, 9 losses. They have already stepped into the danger zone, so they must do something different in order to survive in the best Spanish football league. The Green-striped ones after beating Cadiz CF (3:1), lost two games in a row to Valencia (2:1) and Barcelona (3:2). In their last LaLiga match, Elche played a draw match against Granada CF (0:0), but in their last Copa del Rey game they beat Almeria with a score of 2:1. This brings extra confidence to Elche’s crew that they are capable of showing another quality performance and winning points on the visit to Barcelona.

We are expecting another dynamic football game with many scored goals. The favorite to win the match is the hosting team, Espanyol.

Our prediction: Market (1ST HALF – BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE) Tip: YES

So tune in tonight and watch this interesting Spanish duel, and find out who’s going to win the points after the 90 minute battle at RCDE Stadium.
