Elche vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Elche for a Spanish La Liga fixture.

Los Blancos are still setting the pace in the league and also boast a solid record in this fixture. Led by the impressive Kylian Mbappe, they should claim the upper hand over the hosts, who are out of sorts at the moment.

Elche News

Elche can be pleased with their showings so far on their return to topflight football, having earned three wins and played out six draws from 12 matches. They are currently in the bottom half of the table only on goal difference, and will be keen to rise.

However, things are looking a bit awry for Elche at the moment, having failed to win their last five La Liga matches, suffering three defeats on this run. The good news is that they remain unbeaten at home this season, with their last two fixtures ending in draws, including a 1-1 scoreline with Real Sociedad.

Elche have some attacking quality and often enjoy an open style of play. Two of the last three matches across all competitions for Eder Sarabia's team have produced over 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid News

Real Madrid stumbled slightly prior to the international break, losing 1-0 at Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League before playing out a 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano. However, Xabi Alonso's team remain top of the table, sitting three points clear of rivals Barcelona.

Beyond that mini stumble, Real Madrid have impressed this season, winning 10 of their 12 La Liga matches so far. They are also unbeaten in five of their last six away matches in the league, picking up four wins on this run.

Led by Mbappe, who has 13 La Liga goals, Real Madrid often impress going forward and have scored the opening first-half goal in two of their last three league matches. Those two fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Real Madrid have never lost in this fixture, with nine wins and two draws in the last 11 matches. Los Blancos did the double during the 2022-23 season, claiming a 3-0 away victory in the first meeting before easing to a 4-0 triumph in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Elche v Real Madrid

This clash is likely to be a mismatch, with Real Madrid expected to come out on top. Mbappe has been almost unstoppable by most defences this season and should return despite an injury scare on international duty to add to his 13 league goals on Sunday.

Real Madrid have scored the first goal in the first half in two of their last three matches and could be set for a repeat. Having earned a win and over 2.5 goals in their last two matches against Elche, Los Blancos are likely to play out a similar outcome here.
