Elche and Granada difficult to separate in Copa del Rey

Elche and Granada difficult to separate in Copa del Rey

On Thursday night, Elche host Granada in the Spanish Copa del Rey, as both sides look to progress to the next round of the competition.

Elche have made a poor start to their campaign in the Segunda failing to win in their first four games of the season, while also suffering consecutive defeats against Reus Deportiu and Numancia.

In fact, they have won one of their last six competitive games in all competitions. Their recent games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four outings.

Elche have been difficult to beat in the Copa del Rey, losing just one of their last five games, which was a 3-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid last season.

Despite their recent decent run in the Spanish Cup, Elche have won just two of their last seven outings on home soil in 90 minutes.

Granada have made an unbeaten start to their Segunda campaign, winning two games and drawing two games. In fact, the visitors are now unbeaten in five competitive games dating back to last season.

However, the visitors have a poor recent record in the Copa del Rey, winning just two of their last ten games in the competition, while suffering seven defeats in the process. Granada have also failed to score in four of their last five outings in the competition.

Granada have failed to win in six Copa del Rey games, suffering five straight defeats in the process. The visitors have had problems at both ends of the pitch in the Copa del Rey of late, conceding at least two goals in their last five games, while also scoring just once in their five straight defeats.

Forebet predicts that these two teams will be difficult to separate and that game will finish in a low scoring draw.
