Sevilla Preview
Sevilla passed a litmus test last week with a 1-0 win over Cadiz in one of the Andalusian derbies. However, they almost had only a draw, as the goal came only in the 89th minute, when a penalty was awarded at the request of the VAR.
In 18 games, Sevilla has only 18 points scored, placing 15th, just one point above Valladolid, the last team to enter the relegation zone. The team coached by Argentina’s Jorge Sampaoli will arrive at this match against the Pepineros somewhat tired after facing Osasuna during the week in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, losing the series 2-1 after going to extra time.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Bono ; Loïc Badé, Nemanja Gudelj and Karim Rekik; Jesús Navas, Fernando, Joan Jordán and Erik Lamela; Óliver Torres, Ivan Rakitic and Youssef En-Nesyri.
Elche Preview
To say that Elche’s campaign is bad is an understatement: in 18 games they have won none, and with each passing game without registering a victory they are getting closer to having the worst campaign ever recorded by a club in Spain’s first division.
The last game they played resulted in a 1-1 draw against Osasuna. If they want to get their first three points, they will not only have to improve their aim and strengthen their defense, but they will also have to work to keep the scores in their favor. That’s so since they have just lost a lot of points, which today would leave them in a better position in the fight to avoid relegation: they are comfortably in last place, no less than 14 points behind Cadiz, the next team in the standings.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Edgar Badia; Helibelton Palacios, Enzo Roco, Bigas; José Ángel Carmona, Omar Mascarell, Gerard Gumbau, Lautaro Blanco; Pere Milla, Fidel, Lucas Boyé.
JefeBet Prediction
How likely is it that Elche will get the three points? In the preview, as many as their victories in La Liga: zero. In fact, Sevilla has played 20 league games against Elche and lost none (15 wins and 5 draws), their highest home record against any opponent.
For this reason, and because victory in the Andalusian derby is an incredible boost, at JefeBet we believe that the Nervión team will win.
Prediction: Sevilla wins 2-1.
