Elche vs Valencia Prediction and Betting Tips | April 23, 2023

In a bottom-of-the-table clash, last-placed Elche entertain 19th-placed Valencia at the Manuel Martinez Valero in La Liga on Sunday (April 23).

The hosts are winless in five games and have lost their four. In their previous outing, Elche fell to a 2-0 defeat at Girona. They have 13 points from 29 games, and with nine games to go, they face a very real relegation threat.

Valencia, meanwhile, are winless in four games, losing thrice. They lost 2-0 at home against Sevilla last time around. Midfielder Ilaix Moriba was sent off and will miss this game.

Elche vs Valencia Prediction

Both teams have struggled in recent league games, with their goalscoring woes being concerning. Elche have scored twice in their last five games, while Valencia have scored one more in the same period.

Los Franjiverdes will look to capitalise on Valencia's poor away run, but considering their own poor form, a low-scoring draw could ensue.

Prediction: Elche 1-1 Valencia
