Elche vs Girona prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-12-06 13:00.
[p]Elche sit in the relative safety of mid-table, but with only four points separating them from aĀ Girona side who start this round in 18th place, this game carries huge significance.Ā [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Elcheās 1-0 loss away to Getafe last round has seen them open their La Liga season with a seven-game unbeaten run (W3, D4) and then follow that up with a winless stretch of seven matches (D3, L4). For all their recent struggles, Elche remain unbeaten at home in La Liga this season (W3, D4), but with their last three such games here all ending in stalemate, itās fair to say their home momentum has slowed a little. It is worth noting though that all four of their home draws came against pre-round top-half sides, and they boast a 100% winning home record against sides starting this round alongside Girona in the bottom half.Ā [/p]
[p]Despite coming into this round inside the bottom three, a couple of wins could change the whole dimension of Gironaās season such is the tightly-packed nature of La Ligaās bottom half. Girona needed eight games to collect their first win of the league season, and only one more win has followed since then – on home soil against AlavĆ©s. Just a third win of the season seems unlikely to follow on the road for a Girona side who havenāt won an away league game all season (D3, L3), although the fact they scored exactly once in five of those games at least shows they have some firepower in the ranks.[/p]
