- Venue: Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán
The Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán is the venue for a La Liga encounter on Friday evening as Sevilla takes on recently promoted Elche.
The visitors have enjoyed a strong start on their return to Spain's top flight, remaining unbeaten from three games played, and will be confident of creating more problems from a Sevilla side already under pressure after some underwhelming early-season performance.
Sevilla have had the better of recent encounters between these sides, but can they find some winning form this weekend?

Sevilla team overview
Sevilla return to La Liga action looking to build on a first win of the season against Girona before the international break. Goals from Alfon González and Isaac Romero secured the points for Los Rojiblancos.
A disappointing start to the season had seen Sevilla slip to defeat in their first two league fixtures of the season - a 3:2 defeat at Athletic Club before a 2:1 home reversal against Getafe.
Poor results at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán has been a recurring theme for the home side in the past year. Sevilla lost eight while winning just six of their last 20 La Liga home fixtures.
Batista Mendy, Fabio Cardoso, Alexis Sánchez and César Azpilicueta are all in contention for debuts after arriving late in the transfer window..

Elche team overview
Elche make the trip to Seville with plenty of reasons to be confident of their chances of picking up a positive result this weekend. Three games into their return to the top flight, Los Franjiverdes remain unbeaten after a 2:0 win against Levante two weeks ago.
Eder Sarabia Armesto's side began the new campaign with a pair of impressive draws against Real Betis and Atletico Madrid. Both games finished 1:1, with the new boys showing plenty of resilience against strong opposition.
Tough-to-beat on their travels, Elche lost just six of their last 21 away league fixtures, and while now competing in the top-tier of Spanish football, seem to have quickly found their feet at the higher level.
Head coach Armesto has a near-fully fit squad available this weekend. Yago Santiago is a doubt through injury, but Elche have no further selection issues. After their strong display against Levante, the visitors are likely to remain unchanged, with Rafa Mir set to lead the attack.

Prediction
Elche have made an excellent start to the season, and they could take advantage of a Sevilla side still seemingly riddled with issues and inconsistency.
I'm putting my stake on the visitors in the double chance market.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Elche to Win or Draw
- Elche are unbeaten in their last 3 matches
- Sevilla failed to win 14 of their last 20 home matches (La Liga)
- Sevilla lost 2 of their last 3 matches
