Real Madrid preview: Impressive midweek win

Real Madrid come into this one on the back of an impressive 3-0 demolition of Manchester City in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie, courtesy of a first-half hat-trick scored by Fede Valverde.

Los Blancos managed to snatch a much-needed win at Balaidos against Celta Vigo with a winner deep into second-half stoppage-time last weekend after back-to-back losses against Osasuna and then Getafe.

Elche preview: The collapse of Elche

In the first-half of the campaign, Elche were extremely impressive, following their promotion to the top-flight last season, but the visitors have now badly drifted to a relegation battle, appearing destined for the drop at this stage.

The visitors begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just a point and a place outside of the bottom three and the relegation places after they most recently succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Villarreal in a regional derby at El Madrigal last week.

Real Madrid vs Elche prediction

Elche are now winless in their last 11 matches across all competitions ever since the turn of the year since their mid-season winter break. They have continued to play an entertaining and easy on the eye style of football. They now face a Madrid side that should go full throttle here at the Bernabeu as they seek to build on their win the other day and a comfortable home win is to be expected for this one in the Spanish capital city.
