The visiting Sevilla side should be favourites in this visit to Elche, as the away team holds a 27 point advantage from their 24 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Sevilla have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in La Liga

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Del Rey. That game, against Barcelona, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sevilla.

Elche form and stats

With 2 La Liga wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Elche are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Elche will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the La Liga game against Granada (placed 8th). Heartbreak before that as Elche lost 0-3 at Barcelona's place.

Elche aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero in the league, with only 11 goals from 12 games. On the other hand, Elche have conceded 17 goals.

Sevilla form and stats

As the visiting team in La Liga matches, Sevilla have produced an overall stat of 7-2-3 so far. Having won their last three away games Sevilla has no reason to fear anyone.

Sevilla play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-3 to Barcelona (after extra-time) (placed 2nd). Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Barcelona.

It's a bit worrying for Sevilla that their goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík made six saves in the Barcelona (after extra-time) game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sevilla manager J. Lopetegui Argote as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Borussia Dortmund.

Sevilla have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 15 goals have been scored. Sevilla are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 9 times in 12 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Elche zero wins, one draw and Sevilla three victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.
