Valencia vs Elche Odds

Valencia Match Odds Suggest Victory

At betting odds of +108, the bookies make Valencia probable winners and there’s a 48% likelihood that the favourites triumph in this La Liga encounter. Elche are the underdogs at +275 which implies a lesser percentage prospect of winning.

There’s the option to get some insurance on your bet by going down the Draw No Bet route. This allows you to back Valencia at -217 with a safety net or alternatively opt for Elche at +150.

Under 2.5 Goals is currently the betting favourite and a bet on this option would mean you need no more than two goals to be scored. For those wanting to bet on Both Teams to Score, you won’t find much between Yes and No.

It’s great that you can tap into hundreds of markets for every La Liga match. Each of our recommended football betting sites provide exciting pre-match and In-Play betting options.
