Elche vs Real Betis Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 18th August 2025

Elche start the season as favourites to land the LaLiga crown. They launch their title bid this coming Monday at home in an opening day fixture with Real Betis at Estadio Martinez Valero.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Elche and Real Betis as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Elche only average a modest one goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored ten goals. They also conceded ten for an average of one per game. They kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Real Betis travel to their next away match on Monday having performed a tolerable average of 1.9 goals in ten matches. They scored a total of 19 goals, whilst shipping 15 goals against. An average of 1.5 goals against a game. They hung on to zero clean sheets in this streak.

Elche face off against Real Betis for the first time in a while, with Real Betis claiming a 3-2 win at Estadio Martinez Valero back then.

Elche vs Real Betis Prediction

Elche Form

Elche look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against SD Huesca, they were left empty-handed in a 2-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Malaga in a 2-0 win. They followed that up with a 0-4 win against Deportivo La Coruna in their most recent outing. Elche only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent LaLiga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored seven and conceded eight goals.

Real Betis Form

Real Betis were only able to take a single draw from their past three games. They came up short in a 4-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid before drawing 1-1 with Valencia. They were defeated once again, when Chelsea ran out 1-4 winners. Real Betis managed a decent return of three wins in their last six LaLiga away matches, in which they scored 12 while also conceding 11 times. They also experienced two draws and one defeat.

Real Betis could find it tough to break down the defensive barriers put up by Elche at Estadio Martinez Valero on Monday. The home side doesn't score much themselves, though, and we aim for the under 2.5 goals betting market.
