Betis – Elche : Preview & Prediction
Sevilla, undefeated in La Liga since March 6, will try to make a perfect copy against Elche this Tuesday in the 33rd round. The Andalusian club have taken 11 points in the last five games, including three wins over Athletic Bilbao (1-0), Osasuna (4-1) and Cadiz (2-1) and two draws at Celta Vigo (0-0) and Real Sociedad (0-0) at the weekend. Fekir’s side are still in with a shout of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, with fourth-placed Atletico Madrid, holders of the final ticket to the competition, just three points behind. Elche’s 3-0 win over Mallorca on Saturday ended a run of three straight defeats to Valencia (0-1), Bilbao (2-1) and Real Sociedad (1-2). Elche, in 13th place, were beaten in the first leg (0-3) thanks to goals from Juanmi, Willian José and Fékir, and can now play a joker against Sevilla as the relegation zone is 7 points away and coach Francisco will be deprived of his top scorer, the Argentine Boyé (7 goals).
