Match Analysis

Elche has shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings. They managed a solid 1-1 draw against Valencia and secured an emphatic 4-0 victory over Vallecano, though they stumbled with a 1-3 home defeat to Villarreal. Their recent form suggests a capable defense, with two clean sheets in their last five matches. Elche's average of 2.2 goals scored per game in this period, coupled with an expected goals figure of 1.84, indicates a potent attack that could trouble Sevilla. Conversely, Sevilla is in a slump, having lost their last three matches without scoring a single goal. Their defeats to Celta, Levante, and Real Madrid highlight a worrying trend, with an average of 2.0 goals conceded per game in their last five. Their expected goals scored, a modest 0.916, underscores their current struggles in front of goal. With only one clean sheet in their last five games, Sevilla's defense remains a significant concern.

Final Prediction

Elche's superior recent form and attacking prowess provide them an edge over a Sevilla side grappling with defensive frailties and scoring woes. A key factor to watch in this encounter will be Elche's ability to capitalize on Sevilla's defensive vulnerabilities, potentially steering the game in their favor. As the two teams clash, Elche's home advantage and recent performances could play a pivotal role in determining the outcome.
