-----------------------------
Elche welcome Sevilla in a crucial LaLiga encounter with both teams heading in very different directions. The hosts sit tenth in the table and carry quiet confidence after making their stadium a difficult place to visit, having suffered just one home defeat all season. Sevilla arrive under pressure as they continue to search for stability and results.

Team Analysis:
Sevilla travel to Elche under pressure as they sit just above the relegation zone and try to end a damaging three-match losing run. While past meetings favor Sevilla, current form points toward Elche, with Alvaro Rodriguez posing a constant threat and the hosts looking more settled. Injuries and defensive issues leave Sevilla facing a difficult task, making a high-scoring draw or narrow home win seem likely.

Player Situation:
Elche face a selection headache with top scorer Rafa Mir sidelined by injury, joined by several teammates who are also unavailable. Sevilla’s situation appears even more difficult, as they travel without key creative and defensive players due to injuries and suspension. With both squads depleted, depth and adaptability could prove decisive in this closely contested match.

Result Prediction:
Elche are tipped to secure a narrow 2-1 victory thanks to their strong home form. Sevilla’s struggles on the road and inability to cope with pressure make the task even harder. A deep injury crisis leaves the visitors short on options against a well-organized Elche defense.

Predicted Result: Elche 2-1 Sevilla.
