Elche vs Real Madrid Prediction, 03:00 November 24: Bullying the home team

Real Madrid need a win to widen the gap with Barcelona.

Pre-match comments Elche vs Real Madrid

Up to this point of the season, Elche has shown that they are not overwhelmed in the number one Spanish playground. Under the leadership of coach Eder Sarabia, Elche has accumulated 15 points after 12 rounds. That achievement is enough for them to stand in the middle of the rankings (11th place), only 3 points away from the European Cup group held by Espanyol.

However, behind that stability is a worrying sign, Elche have gone more than a month without a win. Since the end of September, the team has only drawn or lost, exactly 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 5 rounds. They closed the pre-international period with a draw against Real Sociedad. The challenge immediately increases when the next opponent is Real Madrid, an opponent Elche have not beaten in La Liga since 1978.

As for Real Madrid, the history of confrontation is a huge advantage. Los Blancos have won 35/53 previous encounters between the two teams in all competitions. In the most recent meeting in La Liga 2022/23, Real won overwhelmingly with a score of 4-0. However, Real Madrid traveled to Martinez Valero Stadium not in perfect condition.

Xabi Alonso's side have suffered two disappointing results, a goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano and a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League. Los Blancos are also facing fierce pursuit from Barcelona. The Catalans are level on points with Real Madrid but have played one game more.

Coach Alonso's team must not be complacent if they do not want to continue losing points. Elche are extremely uncomfortable at home, having been unbeaten in all 6 matches this season at Martinez Valero. Elche's solid, disciplined style of play creates many difficulties for the favorites. On the contrary, Real Madrid, despite having an impressive away record (13 points after 6 matches), sometimes still shows confusion against opponents who actively defend in large numbers.

Real's mainstay in this away trip continues to be striker Mbappe, who has scored 13 goals in La Liga and is leading the list of top scorers. The capital team also has the most solid defense in the tournament with 10 goals conceded. Therefore, the possibility of coach Alonso's team winning 3 points is very high.
