La Liga
Elche was absent from the elite for two years, but now they are back. This became a fact, finishing second last season in Segunda. There is a serious challenge ahead in an attempt to stay in La Liga, especially considering the fact that two of the three top scorers from last season are no longer part of the team. At least they start at home, but against a tough opponent, against whom they lost their last two home games.
Real Betis was once again one of the tricky teams in La Liga last season, finishing sixth. For the fifth consecutive season, they finished in the top 7 of the championship. There was some squad turnover for Manuel Pellegrini this summer, and he still couldn't keep Antony, who played on loan in the second half of the season and was instrumental in their success. Betis still hopes to start the season steadily and has not lost their first match in the last five campaigns. However, captain Isco is currently out for the guests, as well as Abde Ezzalzouli and new signing Nelson Deosa.
Prediction: under 2.5 goals, XElche will look to avoid losing in their return to the elite against the tough Betis. The guests have some changes and absences, so I don't know what condition they will be in at this stage. Therefore, I would try a draw here and a match with not many goals.
