Sevilla vs Elche: Will the Southerners win?

The 24th round of the Spanish La Liga will begin with Sevilla and Elche. The team that even claims to be the strongest in Spain will play host to a mid-table side. Unsurprisingly, the bookmakers favour Sevilla, one of the leaders of the Primera Division.

After being eliminated from the Spanish Cup by Betis, Sevilla has played three games in La Liga. They have ended in draws against Valencia, Osasuna and Celta on home soil. As a result, the gap leading Real Madrid has widened from two points to six during this time, which certainly does not please Julen Lopetegui.

The Red and Whites have the second-best home statistics in the division, +8=3-0, 24:10 goal difference.

After the international break, Elche confidently defeated Alaves with a score of 3:1 on home soil. Elche is doing very well in terms of standings, the team is not competing for the European Cup, but the main thing is that the visitors are eight points away from the relegation zone. At the moment, nothing threatens Elche.

It should be noted that Sevilla has the best defence in the division, with only 16 conceded goals in 23 games. At the same time, Elche is scoring just over a goal a game in their away matches.
