Elche vs Real Betis Predictions

• Elche have lost seven of their 11 home matches
• Real Betis are on a run of three wins from their last four away La Liga outings
• Three of Elche’s last four league games have ended in defeat

Elche’s win proving a false dawn

Elche have still only won once in La Liga this season, with a staggering 15 of their 22 outings ending in defeat.

Five of those losses have been under new boss Pablo Machín, while a first win of the campaign over Villarreal earlier in the month has proved to be a false dawn after reversals to Real Madrid and Espanyol.

Indeed, ‘Los Franjiverdes’ have now failed to score in three of their last four games, sit 13 points from safety at the foot of the table and have suffered seven defeats in 11 league games at home.

Can Real Betis keep going?

After a sticky start to 2023, Real Betis have now won three of their last five league games, moving five points behind Atletico Madrid in the race for a Champions League place.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have done well away from home this season, where they have kept four clean sheets in their last eight outings, a run which includes four victories.

They have shared the goals around during that period, with six different scorers and an own goal, which shows the strength of their front line, and are now searching for a third straight La Liga victory.

I predict that Real Betis will win this game to nil, with 1-0 my correct sore prediction.
