Match preview
After claiming a massive victory last Saturday night, can Sevilla propel themselves further away from danger?
A week ago, Ivan Rakitić’s stoppage time penalty saw los Nervionenses, just about, beat fellow-strugglers Cádiz 1-0 at home.
That goal means Sevilla have won back-to-back home games for the first time since February, last winning three on the spin in front of their own fans in October 2021.
So, these home victories over over Getafe and Cádiz have seen Jorge Sampaoli’s leap from 19th all the way up to 15th, albeit just one point clear of danger.
In mid-week, Sevilla came crashing back down to earth, dumped out of the Copa del Rey by Osasuna.
Youssef En-Nesyri’s 94th minute equaliser forced extra time at El Sadar, but Sevilla fell at the quarter-finals stage, ousted 2-1.
Elche meanwhile are one of just two clubs Europe’s top 33-ranked leagues yet to win this season, along with Cremonese.
Although, los Franjiverdes are enjoying their best form of the season right now, unbeaten in two, having held both Cádiz and Osasuna the 1-1 draw.
José Ángel Carmona’s equaliser snatching a point last weekend.
Nevertheless, Pablo Machín’s team are now 11 points from safety and, even with over 50% of the season remaining, look doomed to relegation.
Despite their own trials and tribulations, Sevilla are big favourites to win this one at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
