A second-place finish in La Liga 2 delivered Elche back into La Liga after a two-year hiatus. They have a tough start lined up as they welcome Real Betis in their opening match. Read on for our prediction.
Elche will hope for a swift restart to life in the topflight. That isn’t promised, especially as they face one of the high finishers from last season, and given they lost two key attacking players from the 2024/25 campaign.
Elche are coming from four wins and as many defeats in their eight preseason games and will bank on the home form they had in La Liga 2. The hosts posted 15 wins in 21 homes that season.
Real Betis have had their near misses, and last season was one. They fell to Chelsea in the Conference League final, while their chase for a Champions League place fell short yet again.
For the fifth time in the last seven seasons, the team from Seville has finished in the top seven, but none of those secured Champions League football. That’s even when Spain got extra slots.
One of their most influential players last season, Antony, was a loanee from Manchester United, and he hasn’t been confirmed back yet. However, being unbeaten in their last five season openers and facing a promoted side will be reasons to stay positive.

Our Elche vs Betis Prediction
Facing promoted sides, Real Betis have a good record. They have only lost once in the previous 36 matches against such opposition and won 22 times. That and a not-so-poor away record in La Liga last season should drive them over the line.
The visitors lost seven times in the 19 league matches on the road. They may still need to improve on their seven away wins in the same campaign, but taking on a promoted side works well on that front. Our prediction for Elche v Real Betis is that Real Betis wins the match.
