FC Sevilla hosts Elche in the 27th round of the Spanish La Liga.
Sevilla lost a lot of points lately and dropped pretty far away from the 4th place, but can get back within 4 points of that last UCL spot if they win today vs. Elche. Sevilla is clearly out of the small crisis they were in … last two games were a 4-3 win at Deportivo La Coruna and a magnificent 3-1 away win vs. Villarreal in the Europa League. Hosts might choose to rotate the squad a little bit to avoid European hangover, but nothing major. Cristoforo and Beto continue to be unavailable for Sevilla.

Elche recorded a huge win last weekend, 1-0 vs. Almeria … climbing to the 15th place and putting 3 points (and 2 teams) between them and the red zone. Visitors are in good form with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 matches, only losing to Real Madrid. Ok, they did not play top teams, but the form is still impressive. Defense was the key word for Elche … all the 3 wins came with a clean sheet. Defense will again be very important for them today, they clearly need to be impecable at the back if they are to have any chance vs. Sevilla. Adrian is suspended today for the visitors and Pelegrin might also miss due to injury.
The visitors will be no pushovers today and will come with confidence given but their good form. Elche will approach the game in a defensive manner, the style that brought them the recent success and it will be up to Sevilla to control the game and create chances. I don’t see Elche posing too much offensive threat and I`m sure Sevilla will be particularly focused at the back after allowing 4 goals in the last two matches … but those goals were away from home: at home Sevilla kept 9 clean sheets in the last 10 matches! My tip will be Sevilla to win to nil, very good odds on this bet @ Bet365. Correct score prediction: FC Sevilla – Elche 2-0.
Pick: Sevilla to win to nil
Odds: 2.15 @ Bet365
