Elche CF v Real Zaragoza : La Liga 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 12th Jan, 15:15 BST, Martínez Valero, Elche

It's an away trip for Victor Fernández Braulio's Real Zaragoza side on Sunday afternoon, as they make their way to the Martínez Valero for a La Liga 2 showdown with Eder Sarabia Armesto's Elche CF. Recent form, head to head (H2H) statistics, predictions and odds from leading bookmakers are all published below. Helping our users place smart bets is what we do best. We've backed under 3.5 goals, but why not flip through the tabs and find the one you like best?


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

We're suggesting it's unlikely that this match will serve up 4 goals or more, and the odds and stats align with our predictive algorithm on this one. Elche and Zaragoza have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in La Liga 2 individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, without a compelling favourite draw or double chance market, we're going for under 3.5 goals. That's available at a best price of 1.17.
