Real Madrid walk into this matchup flying, and Elche look nowhere near ready for what’s coming. Elche have already been smashed 5-0 by Barcelona and beaten 3-2 by ten‑man Real Sociedad, and the document makes it clear they sit in 19th place with the league’s second‑worst defensive record. That’s a nightmare setup against a Madrid side that has scored 10 goals across three straight league wins, just beat Inter in a Champions League match with 15 shots on target, and features an attacking quartet of Mbappé, Vinicius, Bellingham, and Güler that’s producing at full throttle. Three of Madrid’s four league wins have already gone over 3.5 goals, and they’ve hammered Elche by 3-0, 4-0, and 4-1 in recent meetings. With Elche leaking goals and Madrid warming up for the derby, this sets up perfectly for another high‑scoring Real Madrid win.
