On March 30, at "Estadio Nuevo Arcángel," the match of the 33rd round of the Spanish Segunda will take place, where "Córdoba" will play against "Elche." I suggest betting on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Córdoba"
The team cannot boast of significant successes. However, those who follow Spanish football may remember that they have managed to rise even to the La Liga level. However, the newcomer was immediately relegated and soon found themselves in the third Spanish football division. They returned to Segunda in 2024, and it was a struggle: finishing second in their group, they battled through a tough playoff.
Such newcomers typically face a difficult, and not always successful, fight for survival at a higher level. But not in this case - the club consistently earned points until spring, often winning, and remained with chances to jump into the top 6. Against this backdrop, a 1-1 draw with "Zaragoza" looks almost like a slip-up.
"Elche"
The club spent the 2013/2014 season in the third division. But it was perceived as an unfortunate exception. Both a bit earlier, in 2013, and later, in 2020, the players earned the right to climb into Primera, and they were not relegated immediately, but in the second or third season. Of course, they want to return to that level. But in the last season, they did not justify their status as one of the favorites, finishing with a modest eleventh place in the Segunda standings.
Now, Eder Sarabia's team is clearly more focused on competing for a direct ticket to La Liga - they are vying for leadership, albeit in conditions of incredible competition. They even started dropping points away - they didn't win three times. At home against "Eldense," they secured a 2-0 victory.
Match facts
- "Córdoba" is unbeaten in six consecutive matches

H2H
The last two matches, including in September, resulted in victories for "Elche."
Córdoba vs Elche Prediction
Bookmakers consider the pair equal. But the visitors are weak on the road - bet on the home team to win with a handicap of "0" (odds - 1.83).
