Almeria Double Chance
Elche endured a nightmare start to the new La Liga season when they were beaten 3-0 at Real Betis and to compound their misery, they lost key midfielder John Donald Chetauya to a red card. With Chetauya suspended, Elche look vulnerable again on Monday for the visit of an Almeria side that gave champions Real Madrid a run for their money on matchday one. Almeria would have gained confidence from that performance and they could be worth backing to avoid defeat at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero as a result.
Both Teams to Score
Almeria mustered a credible ten attempts in their narrow loss to Real Madrid last weekend and the newly-promoted outfit showed enough bite against Los Blancos to suggest they can impact the scoresheet on Monday. Elche meanwhile, are reliable goalscorers at home and they have notched at least once in nine of their last 12 La Liga assignments at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. With those factors digested, a stake on both teams to score is advised at the prices on offer.
