Sevilla FC vs. Elche: La Liga preview and prediction
Sevilla FC faces a crucial match at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán with a need to score points. After a shaky start to La Liga, with losses to Athletic Bilbao (2-3) and Getafe (1-2), the Andalusian side managed to bounce back with a 2-0 away win against Girona, demonstrating their effectiveness in attack with five goals in three matches.
For its part, Elche is unbeaten at the start of the season. The green-and-whites have been able to hold their own against tough opponents like Betis and Atlético de Madrid , and are coming off a win over Levante. However, their recent record in Seville is poor: they have accumulated five consecutive defeats at this stadium.
The context suggests a high-intensity match, with Sevilla looking to assert their home advantage and Elche determined to maintain their winning streak. A goal-scoring draw wouldn't be a surprise, although the statistics favor the home side.
