Real Madrid vs Elche Prediction

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Getafe, they were left empty-handed in a 0-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Celta Vigo in a 1-2 win. They followed that up with a 3-0 win against Manchester City in their most recent outing. Real Madrid have been in potent form at Estadio Bernabeu, winning no less than five of the past six Spanien LaLiga matches here. They also hammered in 15 goals, while letting in four as they also lost once.

Elche Form

Elche were only able to take a single draw from their past three games. They came up short in a 2-1 defeat against Athletic Club before drawing 2-2 with Espanyol. They were defeated once again, when Villarreal ran out 2-1 winners. Elche are winless in their last six away games in the Spanien LaLiga, in which they drew one and lost five. They conceded 14 goals while scoring seven themselves.

Real Madrid are far too strong to let a home win slip against Elche, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.
