Levante vs Elche Betting Tips: X2 (Double chance)

Levante continues to uphold their status as the "masters of drawn outcomes" this campaign, as they salvaged a late equalizer against fellow playoff contender Burgos last Saturday, adding an incredible 14th draw to their tally.

Failing to secure maximum points against the opposition holding the final playoff ticket in their grasp, the shared result leaves Granotes parked right in the heart of the table with 44 points on the board, five shy of the coveted positions.

With the campaign slowly winding down, it's high time for the Segunda Division "draw specialists" to flip the script and start turning those stalemates into crucial victories to bolster their chances of sneaking into the top-six for a second consecutive season.

It appears that the task of convertig draws into three-point hauls will be an exceedingly tough one to execute, especialy considering that celebrations of victory have become a rare sight for Felipe Minambres' troops since the turn of the calendar year, picking up just two meager triumphs from 10 LL2's attemps in 2024.

Standing in their way is an Elche side relishing an exceptional run of form in recent weeks, notching up four successive triumphs on the bounce against Cartagena, Alcoron, Villarreal's youth team, and then edging past relegation-threatened Albacete in a five-goal thriller.

Despite shipping two goals in their most recent league outing, the defensive wall of Los Franjiverdes has been rock-solid since the start of the calendar year, keeping their opponents off the scoresheet an impressive eight times in their last 10 second-tier fixtures.

Just as their Valencia counterparts Levante have earned the nickname "kings of draws" this season, Elche has become synonymous with narrow narrow victories on their travels lately, having claiming four wins by a 1-0 scoreline in their last five away trips.

Riding high on a wave of confidence, and bolstered by their steel-clad defensive line, Elche will be hoping to bolster their chances of direct promotion to the Spanish top-flight, but given their history of never leaving Estadi Ciutat de Valensija with maximum points (D8, L8), a share of the spoils in the Valencia derby could be a likely scenario.
