Elche have been struggling lately, losing three of their last five matches and only managing draws in the other two. Real Madrid have also had a mixed run, losing three of their last five away games, but they did pick up two important wins in that stretch. When these two teams have met recently, the matches have often been high-scoring affairs, with games like a 4-1 and a 2-2 in their last few encounters.

Given Real Madrid’s stronger overall form and Elche’s recent difficulties, this match looks likely to be an open one with goals. Real Madrid should have the edge and come away with a win.
