Sevilla vs Elche Prediction and Football Tips
La Liga football tips – Sevilla vs Elche prediction
Sevilla go into the match with first choice keeper Beto doubtful due to a concussion, with youngster Sergio Rico likely to keep his place in the starting eleven. No other real injury or suspension problems for first team players.
Apart from to Grenada CF away, the only losses Elche have suffered in the past ten games have been against Real Madrid and Barcelona so, with no new injury worries, expect the same line-up as against Almeria. Adrian still suspended.
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Sevilla have scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded an average of 1.6 goals per game.
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Elche have scored an average of 0.8 goals and conceded an average of 1.5 goals per game.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Sevilla’s previous 10 matches.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of Elche’s previous 10 matches.
- Sevilla have won 3 of the last 6 meetings between the sides, with the other 3 being draws.
Sevilla haven’t lost in La Liga since the 4-3 defeat away at Real Sociedad on the 22nd of February and are in 5th place after their away form picked up with 2 wins in their last 2 league games. They also progressed to the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday after winning both legs against Borussia Monchengladbach. Expect a good performance from a strong Sevilla side against weaker opposition.
After a stuttering start to the season, Elche have started to show signs of promise and are looking increasingly likely to beat the drop. Their last two victories, including against Almeria last week, have been 1-0. Elche have had problems scoring this season so their best hope is try and keep another clean sheet, though it will be hard away from home against a good Sevilla team.
On paper it seems like Sevilla have what it takes to beat Elche, with Sevilla scoring for fun at the moment whilst Elche are having a bit of trouble finding the net regularly. Sevilla won 2-0 last time these two met in La Liga. Expect a similar score on Sunday.
