אלצ'ה נגד בטיס

Elche host Real Betis on Sunday at 13:00 CET with 10 points from 11 games. The visitors come in on 23. Betis were third in mid-October, five points behind Barcelona, and Elche were only a point above the relegation zone around the same time after a goalless draw with Celta Vigo. Betis beat Malaga 2-1 on 31 October, a fortnight after a 5-2 win over Osasuna in which Isco scored twice and Abde Ezzalzouli also got on the scoresheet. Both are the names to follow for the visitors. Elche lost 1-0 at home to Valencia on 1 November, so they have a result to put right in front of their own crowd. The last meeting went Betis's way, 2-1 in Seville in May. Before that game they had won three of the previous five against Elche, with one draw and one Elche win. Our prediction: 1-2
