La Liga · 5Athletic Club vs Elche Preview
Athletic Club have found their groove under Edin Terzic, stringing together two consecutive victories that include a commanding 3-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid. Sitting tenth with six points, the Basque side are chasing a third straight league win for the first time since February. San Mamés should provide a hostile atmosphere, and the hosts will fancy their chances of maintaining this upward trajectory against struggling opposition.
Elche travel north in dire straits, anchored in 19th place with a solitary point from four matches. Martin Anselmi's men have conceded 12 goals already, the worst defensive record in La Liga, and have fallen behind inside 25 minutes in every game this season. Their first win remains elusive, and defensive changes feel inevitable after offering opponents far too many clear-cut opportunities throughout this dismal opening stretch.
Athletic Club's home win at 1.44 is the standout selection here. Edin Terzic's side have won their last two league outings and are chasing a third straight victory for the first time since February. San Mamés should provide the ideal backdrop, with the Basque faithful in full voice against a side sitting 19th on a solitary point from four matches.
Elche's defensive frailties make the over 2.5 goals market at N/A an attractive proposition. Martin Anselmi's men have shipped 12 goals in four games, the worst record in La Liga, and have conceded inside 25 minutes in every single match this season. Athletic Club possess the firepower to exploit those weaknesses repeatedly.
Backing both teams to score at 1.04 carries some appeal given Elche's desperation, but their attacking output has been minimal. The safer complementary pick is BTTS No at 10.75, banking on Athletic Club's defensive solidity at home to keep a misfiring Elche attack quiet. Odds correct at time of publication.
