Elche vs Sevilla

Elche are aiming to push for the European places when they host Sevilla in a Spanish La Liga fixture on Monday.

The hosts will head into this clash full of confidence, having impressed in front of their fans this season. They will be keen to maintain their solid home record, with the visitors currently struggling in the league.

Elche News

Elche are coming off a 2-1 defeat at Real Betis in their midweek Copa Del Rey clash, with Chimmy Avila getting their only goal. That was the third straight match without a win for Eder Sarabia's team, who were held to a 1-1 draw at Valencia last time out in La Liga.

The good news for Elche is that they are back at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero, having been on the road in their last two matches. They are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home matches, winning at least one half in six of those fixtures.

Elche often show quality going forward and have scored first in four of their last five La Liga home matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in their last three matches across all competitions.

Sevilla News

Sevilla have struggled to find their best form lately, losing their last four matches across all competitions. They suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Celta Vigo in their previous La Liga fixture.

Sitting just three points above the relegation zone, Sevilla will be keen to find a spark of resurgence. However, Matias Almeyda's team are also struggling on their travels and are winless in five of their last six away matches across all competitions.

One of the problems for Sevilla is a lack of discipline at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in seven of their last 10 away matches.

Head to Head

Sevilla have six wins and four draws, while Elche have been victorious just once in the last 11 matches. The hosts held out for a 2-2 away draw in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Elche v Sevilla

Sevilla may have a solid record in this fixture, but they head into Monday's clash with four straight defeats. Meanwhile, Elche have won at least one half in six of their last 10 home matches and could be set for a repeat here.

Both teams have scored in their last two meetings, and a similar outcome is expected here. Having scored first in four of their last five home matches, Elche could be backed to grab the opening goal in this one.
