Osasuna vs Elche tips and predictions

No interest in big Elche odds

With a handful of points between them, it's tenth placed Osasuna welcoming 18th placed Elche in this LaLiga clash as the home team looks to add to the 8 points that separate the sides.

Obviously Osasuna should start as favourites but the price doesn't look too attractive. Without much confidence then, they are picked to get over the line.

Osasuna will exploit the performance stats of Elche. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 14 losses from their last 18 away trips. Another defeat beckons for them here.

One of the keys to the home win is likely to be how the visitors' rearguard players keep their shape on the day. Elche have conceded two or more goals in 5 of their last 6 assignments. And at times the visitors have been disappointing. They've scored one or less goals in 12 of their last 14 matches.

Obviously these sides have done battle before. Osasuna have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between the two teams. In their last outing Elche were humbled 3-0 by Betis.

The betting markets suggest that only one side is likely to score because of the quality of Osasuna. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the Yes BTTS bet could be a lively side bet.
