Elche vs Betis Prediction: A great opportunity for Betis to get closer to the rival

The twenty-third round of the Spanish La Liga will begin with a match in which Elche will face Betis. The southerners in the pair are the favorites, despite the factor of the field, which is logical, given the recent statistics of the opponents and their tournament position.

Elche

After a sensational win over Villarreal, Elche lost two matches in a row. First, they lost away to Real Madrid with a score of 0:4, and then to Catalonia's Espanyol, but at home. As a result, by the start of the 23rd round, Elche finished at the bottom of the standings. The visitors have only 9 points, 13 points less than Almeria, holding the last 17 positions, 4 points more than Elche has in its assets. Elche is already in the Segunda. Elche's home statistics are also the worst in the division, +1=3-7, 8:17 goal difference.

Betis

Betis, on the other hand, after losses against Barcelona and Celta, secured two consecutive victories over Almería and Valladolid, which improved their position slightly. Before the start of the 23rd round, Betis is in fifth place in the La Liga table, 4 points behind top-four Atlético. The gap from Rayo Vallecano, the nearest pursuer, is three points. Betis' away statistics are fifth in the division, +5=2-4, 11:11 goal difference.
