Elche vs. Andorra: Preview and betting tips

The very poor pre-representation Monday football programme will only offer matches of the second Spanish league. Elche will challenge Andorra as favourites, what to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Elche cannot be satisfied with their start to the season, as one of the candidates for promotion to the top flight they have only nine points and a two-point lead on the relegation zone. They have three rounds to win.

Andorra are in a very similar position. It has one point from its last three games, and has also played two of its last four games with ten men due to poor discipline. With ten points, they are in 17th place.

Elche’s key figures

At the tip of the attack, the home side rely on Sergio León, a striker with a wealth of La Liga experience on two goals. Talented Argentine offensive midfielder Nicolás Castro is a guest here from Genk, and has scored once so far.

Andorra’s key figures

Everything dangerous from the visitors comes through striker Manu Nieto, he has already netted three goals and added two assists. Rubén Bover has been rampant from midfield, the team captain has scored once and has been in the team since December 2018.

Although Elche’s results are poor, they are definitely doing well at home. It has earned eight of the nine points here. This is mainly thanks to a reliable defence that has only conceded twice in five home games.

Moreover, Andorra is not a real threat, having scored only two goals in the last four games. It has also lost the last three rounds away from home, in which it has scored ten goals.

Considering Elche’s home form, its well-functioning defence and Andorra’s poor away record, I think Elche will take advantage of their opponent’s penetrating defence and can win in front of their own fans.
