Elche vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (13 February)

Elche counted heavily on its invincibility at home to gain important points at the start of the season, but in recent weeks, it has been a free fall for the promoted side who have not won for 6 days for a total of 4 defeats. Of the 4 defeats, 3 are in progress with the particularity of having conceded three goals in each match, against Levante 3-2, Barcelona 1-3 and last weekend on the pitch of Real Sociedad 3-1. In the ranking, the Franjiverdes are 15th with a very weak maneuver of 2 points in the red zone. For their part, Osasuna is no longer laughing and finally seems to have understood the method brought by the Italian coach A.Lisci.

The Basques are in 9th place, only 5 points behind 6th Espanyol Barcelona who lost Monday evening at Villarreal. On the previous day, the Rojillos added a fourth successive match without defeat to their unbeaten run, winning against Balaidos against Celta Vigo 1-2. Before that, they had held Villarreal to a draw at home 2-2 and won at Vallecano 1-3 and for the arrival of the red lantern, Real Oviedo 3-2. 

Receiving an early yellow against Real Sociedad last weekend, central defender Affenbruger will be suspended today for an accumulation of yellow cards. Hard blow for Elche who already has to deal without the starting scorer Rafa Mir (6 goals) and the starting right side Hector Fort (ex-FC Barcelona).

Alvaro Rodriguez (5 goals, 4 assists in La Liga) and Andre Silva (5 goals) are expected to take over from Rafa Mir and turn things around. During the trip to Vigo, the starting central defender Boyomo was forced out with an injury and could remain with the medical staff today. He will be accompanied by Iker Benito (end of season) who is seriously injured.

Ill and absent for Celta Vigo, Moncayola could be back on the scoresheet while starter Lucas Torro will return from suspension. By scoring in Vigo, Croatian international Ante Budimir scored his 11th goal of the season in La Liga but above all his 5th in 4 games. He received an assist from new arrival Raul Moro, returning to Spain after a tumultuous spell at Ajax. It was the excellent Raul Garcia (4 goals in La Liga) who scored the winning goal.
