On September 2, the Manuel Martinez Valero will host the match of the 3rd round of the Spanish Segunda, in which Elche will play against Córdoba. Ready announcement and forecast by Dailysports experts.
“Elche”
The team played in the Primera again in 2020-2023. But even at the peak, they finished there on the thirteenth position. And last spring they flew out ignominiously, from the last, twentieth place. Moreover, already in the Segunda finished only in eleventh place.
Such results could not suit the management of the project, and in the summer expectedly changed the mentor. Now the coaching post is occupied by Eder Sarabia, who previously worked for several years with Andorra. The debut did not turn out well: they could not score at home “Huesca”, moreover, in the very end, in the 87th minute, missed from Loureiro. “Albacete” at home, too, was limited to a single goal, but it was enough for overall success.
“Córdoba”
The club exactly ten years ago, in 2014, reminded themselves, managing to reach the Primera, for the first time since the early 70s of the last century. But in the “highest” was the last, twentieth place, and four seasons later was lost a place in the Segunda. Moreover, the “caliphs” fell to the fourth level of Spanish soccer, but then managed to give out two promotions in three years. As a result, in the spring Ivan Ania's wards, having won the playoffs, finally returned to the Segunda.
It is clear that such a club now it is important just to get a foothold at a higher level. And not surprisingly, it all started with a 0-1 defeat at Mirandes, which scored midway through the first half and maintained that advantage. At home with “Burgos” opened the score, then lost, but snatched a draw just before the final whistle.
