Valladolid vs Elche Predictions

• Elche lost 13 of 19 away trips last season
• Valladolid won all of their home clashes with La Liga’s bottom five last term
• The hosts have won 2-1 in two of their last three home meetings with Elche

Both sides struggling after relegation

This was a La Liga fixture last term, but both sides were unable to avoid the drop. The pair have struggled in their early Segunda Liga matches, with both stuck in the bottom half after four matches.

The pair will need to shape up in order to get a promotion chase going, starting in this huge clash on Sunday night. While Valladolid head into the contest having lost three in a row, there’s hope for them against an Elche side who struggle on the road.

Valladolid can edge it

Elche have lost two of their first four games and they finished bottom of La Liga last term, losing 13 of 19 away trips. Among those losses was a defeat away to Valladolid and the hosts made the most of their home games last term.

Valladolid won all their home matches against the bottom five in La Liga last season and they opened this campaign with a 2-0 victory over Sporting Gijon at their own ground. Given that Valladolid have won 2-1 in two of their last three home meetings with Elche, a repeat of that looks good here.
