Their opponents Elche are 16th in the La Liga table, just one point clear of the relegation zone, having managed just 3 wins out of the 13 league matches that they’ve played so far.

Elche (Probable XI): Casilla, Barragan, Verdu, Bigas, Mojica, Fidel, Guti, Mascarell, Pastore, Boye, Benedetto.
Key Players and Matchups
The Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema will be the one to watch out for as in the 9 matches that he’s played in this 2021/22 La Liga season, he’s managed to score 9 goals having converted these from 18 shots on target. He also has 7 assists to his name and is critical in Real Madrid’s attack as he can not only score himself but also set up the likes of Vinicius, Modric, and Casemiro to score.
Elche will look towards Omar Mascarell in midfield to help move the ball around from defence to offence and also help in counter-pressing Real Madrid’s midfield of Casemiro and Modric.

The stats are heavily favoured towards Real Madrid to walk away with the 3 points after this match and Elche will have to put in a miraculous performance to prevent a defeat in this upcoming La Liga fixture.
