Promotion hopefuls Elche face a tricky trip to the Estádio Municipal de Anduva this Friday, as they take on Mirandés in a high-stakes Segunda Division clash.

Mirandes vs Elche Betting Tips - Under 2.5 Goals

Elche's hopes of promotion suffered a damaging blow when they suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Huesca in their last Segunda División outing. Amidst a two-match losing streak, Elche finds themselves clinging to eighth place with 58 points. The visitors have failed to win any of their last three league matches.

With just three matches remaining, they now find themselves three points behind Racing Santander who occupy the final promotion playoff spot. 

Sebastián Beccacece´s side have struggled for form on the road, picking up just one point from their last four away fixtures. 

Away from home, Elche have seen under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine matches and a similarly tight contest seems likely on Friday. 

Mirandés comes into this crucial Segunda Division contest still mired in the relegation battle, sitting just three points clear of the drop zone after a narrow 1-0 defeat against Racing Santander last time out.

At the Estadio Municipal de Anduva, Mirandes are an inconsistent bunch with four wins, three draws and three defeats recorded in their last ten home fixtures. 

The most recent encounter between these sides ended in a stalemate, with both sides settling for a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero earlier this season. A similar outcome cannot be discounted this weekend. 

Ultimately, with both teams struggling for form, and both still desperate for points, this contest has the feel of a likely tense affair where chances could prove few and far between. While I can't pick a winner, I do expect fewer than three goals scored on Friday evening.
