Osasuna vs Elche Prediction & Betting Tips (25 September)

Osasuna is not as daring as last year but has the merit of becoming formidable training at home. Only 2 successes this season after five days, both at home against Valence 1-0 and the Rayo Vallecano on the return from Truce Internationale 2-0. Last weekend, the Rojillos went to lose quite logically on the lawn of Villarreal 2-1 thus contracting a 3rd defeat in 3 games on the move.

Elche, like the Espanyol Barcelona is the very nice surprise of this start to the season in Liga. Promoted but still undefeated, the Franjiverdes won two games against Levante 2-0 and Real Oviedo last weekend 1-0 and gleaned 3 points via draws against Real Bétis 1-1, Atlético Madrid at Metropolitano 1-1 and the return of Trêve in Andalusia against Sevilla FC 2-2. 

The Italian coach Lisci will a priori have to compose his group without the wounded me Gomez and Aimar Oroz, two essential elements of the rotation. In addition, recruited from Leganes this summer, the French side Valentin Rosier will not be available due to a suspension to be served. Author of 21 achievements in the elite last season, the Croatian international Ante Budimir scored his 2nd goal of the season last weekend in defeat in Villarreal. Offensively, we have this feeling that it is the only one to be able to carry this team. On the side of Elche, the side loaned by Seville Pedrosa seems injured and could be forced to forfeit. Same scenario concerning the offensive recruit Alvaro Rodriguez (ex-Real Madrid) and the young Yago Santiago, absent since the start of the season. Midfielder Neto, landed by Benfica this summer, would also be on the flank following an embarrassment felt against Oviedo in the weekend (uncertain). Offensively, the Board of the Franjiverdes was strong by signing Andre Silva (RB Leipzig). The latter also scored his 2nd goal in 2 games under his new colors against Oviedo, thus offering the 3 points to his team (1-0 victory).

Note the presence of the experienced Rafa Mir (loaned by Seville) author of 3 pawns already. Loaned by Barça, the young Hector Fort and Pena (titular guardian) will also have their share of importance this season for Elche. The probable compositions for Osasuna - Elche: Osasuna: Herrera - Benito or I.Munoz, Boyomo, Catena, Cruz or Herrando, Bretones - V.
