Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Real Oviedo play host to Elche at their Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on day 20 of the new La Liga 2 campaign. Los Azules have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Mirandes, beating Espanyol, while sharing the spoils with Racing Santander. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Argentina midfielder Santiago Colombatto, who is enjoying a season to remember, while all Victor Camarasa, David Costas, Romario Ibarra, Pau de la Fuente, Mario Hernandez, and Alex Millan remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Cartagena and seeing that Real Oviedo have recorded four wins in the previous five home games, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Province of Alicante empty-handed. Raul Guti and John Donald Chetauya should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Elche):
Established in 1923, Elche is a Spanish club that competes in La Liga. Los Franjiverdes welcome their rivals at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, the stadium which can hold up to 33,732 spectators. The venue was opened on September 8, 1976.
Elche wear white shirts with green stripe and white shorts when playing at home, while black is the dominant colour of their away jersey. The club’s biggest success came in 1969 as Elche made it to the Copa del rey final. Los Franjiverdes faced Club Atletico de Bilbao in the Spanish Cup final, with the Basques winning the match by one goal to nil.
The likes of Mario Pasalic, Ivan Bolado, Garry Rodrigues, Goran Djorovic, Albert Nadj, Wakaso, Moha, Carlos Sanchez, Ioan Andone, Enzo Roco, Dominique Malonga, Richmond Boakye, and Sory Kaba are some of the notable players who were part of the team in the past. Elche have never represented Spain in European competitions.
