Elche will need to be at the top of their game as they face a strong Sevilla side at home on Saturday, with the aim to pick up their first win of the season.
The home side head into this one on the back of a 1-0 loss against Atletico Madrid, last week with Correa scoring the only goal of the match.

Earlier, Elche played out a goalless draw on opening day against Athletic Club.
Hence, with no win under their belt they would be desperate to get sort of form and consistency.
Meanwhile, Sevilla as always are one of the favourites to challenge for the title and head into this one with successive wins under their belt.
A late winner by Lamela secured a 1-0 win over Getafe last week after an opening day success against Rayo Vallecano.
Sevilla will look to continue their bright start to the season with another fruitful performance.

Prediction: Elche 0-2 Sevilla
Sevilla is a strong defensive unit and can be ruthless in attack as well. They are a well-rounded team and should get a comfortable win here against Elche.
