Sevilla vs. Elche: Match Prediction
Sevilla secured their first victory in the last round. However, it was against a struggling Girona. Facing Elche will be much tougher, even though the match is at home. Sevilla has poor home records this calendar year, having only beaten relegated Las Palmas. Notably, in their last 16 home La Liga matches, Sevilla has only scored more than one goal once.
The Valencians are strong defensively, conceding just one goal each against stronger teams like Atletico and Betis. The team has not conceded more than one goal in their last 8 away La Liga games. At the same time, they have not scored two or more goals in 8 of their last 9 away matches. Considering all these factors, I expect a maximum of two goals in this match.
My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
