Action resumes in the exciting Spanish La Liga after a brief international break, Sevilla seek a first home victory of the 2025/26 season when they host unbeaten Elche at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Ayomide Oguntimehin provides the detailed prediction and betting tips ahead of the September 12th clash.
Sevilla vs Elche Match Preview
Sevilla narrowly avoided relegation in the 2024/25 season after a dismal campaign where they finished in 17th position, their worst-ever league finish since the 1999/00 season. However, the arrival of Argentine coach Matias Almeyda has offered little reassurance, as they have only won just once in three league matches this season.
They began their campaign with a 3-2 defeat at Athletic Bilbao, while a 2-1 defeat in their first home match of the new season made it consecutive loses to start the season. Rojiblancos bounced back on matchday three, recording their first league win of the campaign away at Girona, as goals from Alfon Gonzalez and Isaac Romero secured a 2-0 win.
Elche, meanwhile, have been impressive in their first season back in the Spanish top-flight after two years away. A second-placed finish in the 2024/25 Spanish Segunda division ensured an automatic return to La Liga. Los Franjiverdes have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their season and are currently seventh on the standings with five points from three matches.
They began the season with an impressive 1-1 draw against Real Betis, while another solid performance followed as they held Atletico Madrid to a 1-1 stalemate at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. A first victory of the 2025/26 campaign came on match day three, as goals from Rafa Mir and Rodrigo Mendoza secured a 2-0 result against Levante.

Player to Watch: Chidera Ejuke (Sevilla)
