Lille took on the scoring burden themselves last night, as their 3-0 win at Strasbourg landed our Over 2.5 Goals bet. We have a bit of momentum as we head into the weekend.

We'll head to the Mestalla now, because perennial crisis club Valencia are actually doing ok ahead of their game against rock-bottom Elche.

Valencia boss Peter Lim is widely loathed by the club's fans, and has been the subject of many a protest. Manager Jose Bordalas was ruthlessly axed in the summer, and another former boss lambasted Lim's regime recently. Marcelino insists he was told not to focus on cup competitions, but defied orders and ended up winning the Copa del Rey.

Amidst this turmoil, former Milan and Napoli boss Gennaro Gattuso has arrived, making a good start. Los Che are seventh, with 13 points collected from eight games. On home soil they have won three of their four matches, including a 5-1 thrashing of Getafe and a 3-0 victory against Celta Vigo.

Elche have already made a coaching change, turning to Argentinian coach Jorge Almiron to rescue their season. The Alicante club haven't won a game this term, and they have already leaked 19 goals in just eight league outings. On the road they have lost all four matches, with all of those games featuring at least three goals.

I'll back Valencia to win and Over 2.5 Goals here on the Sportsbook at 2.111/10.
