Racing Santander vs Elche Prediction & Preview

Preview

The 38th round of La Liga 2 brings us a thrilling encounter between Racing Santander and Elche, with both teams looking to solidify their positions in the league table. The match takes place at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero on Saturday, May 4th, with the hosts currently sitting 7th and the visitors occupying 5th spot.

Racing Santander, under the guidance of coach José Alberto López Menéndez, have been inconsistent in their recent form, managing just one win, two losses, and two draws in their last five matches. Their last outing saw them earn a hard-fought point against FC Andorra away, with the game ending 1-1.

Elche, led by Sebastián Beccacece, have mirrored Racing Santander's form, also taking five points from their last five games. In their previous match, they shared the spoils with Espanyol at home, with the game finishing 2-2.

The two teams have a recent history, having met just last September when Elche hosted Racing Santander at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, resulting in a 1-1 draw. In fact, their last three head-to-head matches have seen Elche emerge victorious twice, with one game ending in a stalemate.

Racing Santander boasts an impressive home record, scoring an average of 1.6 goals per game at Campos de Sport de El Sardinero, while conceding just 1 goal on average. Meanwhile, Elche's away form sees them score 1 goal per game and concede 1 goal per game.

Bet

Considering the stats and recent form, I would recommend a bet on Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.8. Both teams have been inconsistent in their scoring and conceding patterns, with Racing Santander averaging 1.6 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game, while Elche scores 1.5 goals and concedes 1.2 per game. The odds offer decent value for a tight, low-scoring affair.
