Levante vs Elche Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

Levante, often referred to as the “masters of drawn outcomes,” maintained their reputation this campaign. They secured a late equalizer against Burgos, another playoff contender, last Saturday. This impressive feat marked their 14th draw of the campaign.

Falling short of gaining maximum points against the opposition who currently hold the final playoff ticket, the resulting draw left Granotes in the mid-table position with a score of 44 points, still five points away from the desired positions.

As the campaign gradually comes to a close, it’s the perfect time for the Segunda Division’s “draw specialists” to change their strategy. They need to start transforming their draws into critical wins to enhance their odds of making it into the top-six for a second straight season.

It seems that the challenge of turning draws into three-point gains will be extremely difficult to accomplish, particularly as victory celebrations have become infrequent for Felipe Minambres’ team since the start of the year. They have only managed to secure two modest victories from 10 attempts in the LL2 league in 2024.

An Elche side, who has been enjoying an extraordinary streak of form recently, is standing in their way. They have chalked up four consecutive victories against Cartagena, Alcoron, Villarreal’s youth team, and narrowly defeated relegation-threatened Albacete in a thrilling five-goal match.

Although they conceded two goals in their latest league game, Los Franjiverdes’ defense has been exceptionally strong since the beginning of the year. They have successfully prevented their opponents from scoring in eight out of their previous 10 second-tier matches, a remarkable feat.

Just like Levante from Valencia, known as the “kings of draws” this season, Elche has recently become associated with narrowly winning their away games. They have secured four 1-0 wins in their last five away matches.

Riding high on a wave of confidence, and bolstered by their steel-clad defensive line, Elche will be hoping to bolster their chances of direct promotion to the Spanish top-flight, but given their history of never leaving Estadi Ciutat de Valensija with maximum points (D8, L8), a share of the spoils in the Valencia derby could be a likely scenario.
