Locate element text with python selenium

Question

I try to locate some text from a java element with python selenium.

<div id="allBetsTable" data-gameid="89519742" style="transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.1, 0.57, 0.1, 1); transition-duration: 0ms; transform: translate(0px, 0px) translateZ(0px);"><div class="bet_group_col cols1"><div><div class="bet_group"><div class="bet-title bet-title_justify"><span class="bet-title__star"></span>

        <!----> <!----> <!----></span> <span data-coef="1.781" class="koeff"><i>1.781</i></span></div></div></div></div></div> </div>

I want to locate this line:

<span data-coef="1.686" class="koeff"><i>1.686</i></span></div><div class=""><span data-type="13094" class="bet_type">Match-Up Leigh Griffiths - Jonathan David, Total Goals Under (0.5)

I know how to locate it with xpath and css selector, but it's moving (elements change position sometimes) and that's why the xpath is changing.

odds = allbets.find_element_by_css_selector("div > div:nth-child(3) > div > div.bets.betCols2 > div:nth-child(2) > span.koeff").text — Phil

but sometimes it is div:nth-child(3) instead of div:nth-child(2) — Phil
– Phil, Commented Dec 10, 2020 at 22:25
so the only fixed value in the line I'm looking for is Total Goals Under (0.5) — Phil

You can use class attribute to locate element:

driver.find_element_by_class_name('koeff')
driver.find_element_by_class_name('bet_type')

also by xpath: //span[@data-coef='1.686']

1.686 is not fixed

@Phil What data exactly do you want to get based on what text/attribute value?
