Almería vs Elche Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa del Rey
by Indran | in Football Predictions
Segunda League leaders Almeria welcome Elche to the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos for this 3rd round tie in the Copa del Rey. The hosts currently lead the Segunda league with 45 points from 21 matches while the visitors Elche are in 17th position in La Liga with 16 points. Almeria are in pole position for promotion to La Liga as they lead second placed Eibar by three points and have a game in hand. They had the opportunity to increase their lead to six points but lost their last match to Cartagena. Elche will be their first La Liga opponents in the tournament having beaten tier three team Aguilas in the first round and then they won against fellow Segunda team Amorebieta in the last round. Both these victories were achieved away from home. Almeria’s loss to Cartagena was their first defeat at home in 17 matches.
Elche are struggling in La Liga in 17th place and are equal on points with Alaves who are in the relegation zone. They are only out of the relegation zone by virtue of a better goal difference. Elche have only won twice in their last ten away matches and both those wins were in this competition. They have a relatively easy passage through to the third round having faced Tier three teams in the previous rounds. This will be their sternest test yet against an Almeria side that seldom loses at home although they have won on their last two visits to Almeria.

Our Almería vs Elche Prediction
Almeria will fancy their chances against higher league opposition as they are having a much better season than their opponents. Elche will be more interested in avoiding relegation and as a result may not play their strongest team. We are backing Almeria for the upset win and for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
