Question 1

Why not back a Racing win?

Accepted Answer

Racing are favourites at home, but they only have one point in the top flight and are heading into this with a weakened backline. A draw is a very credible outcome, too credible to bet solely on a home win.

Question 2

Elche are bottom, how can they take a point here?

Accepted Answer

The standings mean very little after two matchdays. Away from home, Elche have taken 2 draws from their last 3 trips: they know how to shut up shop and grind out a result.

Question 3

What about the head-to-head, which favours Racing?

Accepted Answer

Racing have won their last 2 home fixtures against Elche by comfortable margins, 2-0 and 3-1 . That is the real risk with this bet. But the double chance also covers the draw, and that is the outcome this match leans towards.
