Elche vs Real Madrid form
Thanks to finishing second in Segunda (Spanish Second Division) last season, Elche won a ticket back to La Liga after 2 years of absence. Although labeled as a rookie, the team at Martinez Valero stadium did not show any surprise.
After 12 rounds, Elche won 3, drew 6 and lost only 3. With 15 points, the team under coach Eder Sarabia ranked 11th, creating a 5-point gap to the closest position in the red light group.
To have a fairly safe position at the present time, Elche takes advantage of the home field quite well. In 6 times hosting guests since the beginning of the season, the Alicante team has never had to taste defeat, winning 3 and drawing 3.
It is important to know that apart from the teams currently in the top 4, no club in La Liga 2025/26 has maintained an unbeaten record at home like coach Sarabia and his team have done.
Real Betis, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad have all visited Martinez Valero but none have left with a victorious smile.
Of course, compared to the three faces mentioned above, Real Madrid is in a completely different class. However, the recent fluctuating performance of Los Blancos away from home still brings some anxiety to Madridistas.
In both away trips in November, Real Madrid failed to win, losing 0-1 to Liverpool and drawing 0-0 at Rayo Vallecano.
Also because of accepting to share points in the last round, the Spanish Royal team had the gap with rival Barcelona reduced to 3 points.
To at least maintain the gap with their arch-rivals, Real Madrid need to win on their trip to the southeast.
The task is within reach, but if they continue to perform as poorly as in the last two away matches, there is no guarantee that coach Xabi Alonso and his team can complete the task.
In the last 10 times facing Elche in La Liga, Real Madrid have not lost. The White Vultures have won 8 and drawn 2. If we only count visits to Martinez Valero, the away team has won 4 and drawn 1.
Overall, Real Madrid is rated much higher but promises not to be easy to leave with 3 full points. As for Elche, although they have an unbeaten record at home, welcoming a big opponent like the Madrid giant will bring a completely different story.
Not to mention, in 5 appearances since the beginning of October, Elche has not once found the joy of victory, only drawing 2 and losing 3.
