Alaves vs Elche Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been registered in seven of Elche’s ten league games and in seven of Alaves’ nine.
• The hosts have scored just four goals this season, while Elche have netted just three in their five away trips.
• The last six meetings between the sides have generated under 2.5 goals.

Goals at a premium for both sides this term

Alaves and Elche are both finding goals hard to come by this season and it should be a real scrap when the pair face off at Mendizorroza on Tuesday evening.

Alaves netted twice at the weekend as they secured their second victory of the campaign away to Cadiz, but Javier Calleja’s charges had remarkably scored just two goals across the entirety of their previous eight league games.

It’s no surprise that seven of those matches ended in defeat for Babazorros, and they’re no certainties to follow up here despite Elche losing four of their five away trips this term.

This week’s visitors have only been marginally better in attack with eight goals scored in total this season, and just three of those have been bagged on the road.

Under 2.5 the clear call at Mendizorroza

Overall, that’s led to seven of Elche’s ten La Liga starts producing under 2.5 goals, with the same applying to all but two of Alaves’ nine fixtures.

The last six meetings between the sides have also seen less than three goals scored and under 2.5 stands out as the only solid wager for this Matchday 11 contest at Mendizorroza.

Despite their stats, Alaves have surprisingly not been involved in a goalless stalemate so far this term, though that could change here considering how impotent both teams have generally been up front this season. With a dour clash anticipated, we’re forecasting a 0-0 result alongside our under 2.5 prediction.
