On Friday, August 12, in the 4th round of La Liga, Sevilla will face Elche. A bet on the total number of goals in this match is suggested.
Sevilla is experiencing serious financial difficulties, which are affecting their goals for the season. Once regulars in European competitions and Europa League winners, they now face a potential relegation battle.
During the summer, Sevilla sold key players Dodi Lukebakio and Loïc Badé. The new signings, Alexis Sánchez and César Azpilicueta, came in as free agents. Sevilla started the season with losses to Athletic Bilbao (2-3) and Getafe (1-2), but recently secured a 2-0 victory over Girona.
Elche finished second in the Segunda last season, earning promotion to La Liga. Initially underestimated, the team’s first matches under Eder Sarabia have changed opinions about them.
Elche have earned five points in their first three games, winning against Levante (2-0) and drawing sensationally with Betis (1-1) and Atlético (1-1). Their transfer moves have attracted attention, including loans of Héctor Fort and Iñaki Peña from Barcelona. They also signed striker Rafa Mir, Federico Redondo from Inter Miami, and brought in André Silva on loan from RB Leipzig.
Elche have shown strong offensive play early in the season, and Sevilla typically perform well at home. Expect both teams to score in this match.
