After a not-so-convincing pre-season, Sevilla won only two of their seven pre-season friendlies, losing one and drawing the rest.

Sevilla have won only one of their last 11 home league fixtures, drawing five and losing five.

This shows a side that is in need of getting together a good run and returning the Sanchez Pizjuan into the fortress that saw them qualify for Europe for three straight seasons from 2020 to 2022.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Sevilla having won 11 of the last 20 matches between the sides and drawn 8 losing just one.

Friday night's visitors Elche have also never won against Sevilla at the Ramón Sanchez Pizjuan.

With the deadline day acquisitions of experienced duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Alexis Sanchez, Sevilla look to prove their intent.

Swiss international Ruben Vargas is set to play a key role in the attacking midfield slot.

He is coming off two assists in his last two international games, noting too that during the international break he got an assist in each match against Slovenia and Kosovo.

Left footed forward Alex Romero is also set to start having scored against Girona in his first start for Sevilla.

Azpilicueta is expected to be drafted into the team, providing the much needed experience to a backline that has let in five goals in three games.

Elche under Eder Sarabia have started the season strongly, they lie in seventh place, having won one match, drawn two, scoring four goals and letting in two goals .

Having finished second in the Segunda Division, coach Sarabia's side is proving to be this season's revelation, holding giants Atletico Madrid to a draw at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in game week two.

Elche will look to build on their good form, and prolong the feel good factor after winning their last fixture 2-0 against Valencian derby and fellow promoted side Levante.

Coming from a dismal away record in their last La Liga appearance, where they lost thirteen games and drawn four away games, is something they will not want to replicate.

Elche will hope to replicate their game plan which entails setting up in a mid to low block , being compact and controlling the central areas. This will certainly force Sevilla to the wide areas.

From these wide areas, they will attempt to win the ball and counter- attack immediately as in Alvaro Rodriguez and Rafa Mir they have potent threat in attack.
