Elche vs Gijon Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

This game has huge implications at both ends of the table, with Elche battling to stay up and Gijon attempting to book a place in the playoffs. Although the two teams have very different ambitions, they each seem to love a draw, with the Elche managing six in 12 fourth-tier home games and the Gijon securing a good place in the LaLiga2.

When Gijon come calling, they rarely bring fireworks, with under 2.5 goals being served up in seven of their previous 11 away matches in the third tier of the LaLiga2. For their part, Elche have certainly been keeping things tight recently, with seven of their last nine games at this level producing two goals or fewer.

Witnessing goals at both ends has proven to be quite unusual in top-flight fixtures in which Elche are the home team, with this being the case in just five of their previous 19 matches. What’s more, title-chasing Gijon clearly know how to keep clean sheets, managing to do so in 11 of their most recent 17 games at the top table of the LaLiga2.
