"We fought until the end because it wasn't easy to find a chance on goal," Julen Lopetegui, the Sevilla manager, said after the win over Getafe.
"As the game became more open, we were able to be more threatening. We showed a lot of character during the game, and we ended up with the three points in a difficult match.
"It will be another complicated game for us [against Elche]. We will need to give it our all. It's a difficult place to play, and last year, they not only beat us, but they deserved to win. It will be a very difficult game."
The last meeting between Elche and Sevilla in a league match was on 17 March 2021.
Sevilla claimed a 2-0 win over Elche in a match which was played at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
