Betting suggestion:

We are facing a very important game for both teams, so it is expected that both teams will prioritize defensive processes and counterattacks to reach finishing zones. In addition, the last three games between the two teams ended with less than three goals, which leads us to consider this option for this game, since usually the first hands are usually more closed than the second. Having said that and taking into account these factors, betting on “Both Don't Score” is a worthwhile option.

Analysis Elche

The home team comes to this stage of the Segunda División (Promotion Play‑offs ‑ Finals) after a away win by (0‑1) and a home draw by (0‑0) against Real Zaragoza. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. For the league, Elche won 18 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑0 (8 out of 22 matches) and 1‑0 (8 out of 22 matches).

They have conceded the first goal in 18 of their 44 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 3.

Elche is in the final of the climb-up play-offs after beating Real Zaragoza's 0-1 second leg. Everything seemed set for extra time, after eighty minutes without goals, but Nino, a forty-year-old player, appeared to score the decisive goal that put the "Franjiverdes" in the final. The visitors still had a great opportunity to reach the equalizer, through a penalty, but Javi Ros tried a Panenka, but the ball ended up in the hands of goalkeeper Edgar Badia. Elche CF is not in the highest echelon of Spanish football since the 2014/15 season.
In this match against Girona, coach Pacheta should play in the usual tactical design, the 4-4-2, with Nino and Jonathas to be the stars in the attack of the men of the house. For its part, the central corridor must be formed by Pere Milla, Ramon Folch, Dani Escriche and Iván Aguayo. Apparently, the Elche coach has all the players for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Edgar Badia, Gonzalo Verdú, Juan Cruz, Josema Sánchez, Dani Calvo, Oscar Regaño, Manuel Sánchez, Iván Sánchez, Dani Escriche, Pere Milla, Nino.

Analysis Girona

The away team comes to this stage of the Segunda División (Promotion Play‑offs ‑ Finals) after a away win by (1‑2) and a home win by (1‑0) against Almería.

In the last 10 away league matches Girona has a record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 30 possible.

Girona went to Almería to beat the local team 1-2, leaving the visiting team closer to returning to LaLiga. Girona was stronger almost the whole game, reached the goal in the fourth minute through Samu Sáiz, in a move in which the Almería goalkeeper was more seen. The home team reacted well to the goal conceded and reached a draw even before the break by José Carlos Lazo. In the second half, the outsiders maintained their superiority, with the winning goal appearing in the eighty-four minutes by the usual suspect, Christian Stuani, the visiting team's top scorer with twenty-nine goals scored.
Without major surprises, coach Francisco Rodriguez should put his team in a 4-3-3 formation, prioritizing defensive organization and counterattacks, mainly by the side runners. The three most advanced players, responsible for making sense of the opponent's defensive structure are Samu Sáiz, Jairo Izquierdo and Christian Stuani. With regard to the midfield, it must be composed of Gerard Gumbau, Alex Granell and Borja Garcia. For this game, the Girona coach has all the weapons available.

Confirmed Lineup: Asier Riesgo, Juanpe, Ignasi Miquel, Jonás Ramalho, Pablo Maffeo, Samu Sáiz, Gumbau, Álex Granell, Borja Garcia, Jairo Izquierdo González, Christian Stuani.
