Elche vs Real Madrid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-22 20:00.
[p]Elcheâs hopes of making a successful return after the November international break hinge on them getting a positive result against Real Madrid, who have a great record in this fixture.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Elche went into the international break with concerns to address after winning none of their previous five La Liga fixtures (D2, L3), but thanks to the fine start they made to the season theyâre still in a mid-table position. They may start to feel a little less comfortable if that winless run continues as not since October 2022 have they produced a sequence of six consecutive winless top-flight games under the same manager. Their home form at least offers more encouragement, as theyâre yet to lose a La Liga game here this term (W3, D3), although they did draw their last two.[/p]
[p]That unbeaten record will be severely tested by the arrival of Real Madrid, who spent the break three points ahead of rivals Barcelona at the La Liga summit. Theyâll be kicking themselves that it wasnât five points after their goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano on matchday 12, and Los Blancos have now gone two competitive games without a win (D1, L1) for the first time since Xabi Alonso took over. Snapping that with a victory here would see them equal their best 13-game points tally since 2011/12, so alarm bells shouldn’t be ringing just yet, particularly as theyâve won eight of their last 11 away league games (D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Madrid have been utterly dominant over Elche, going unbeaten across the last 17 H2Hs (W14, D3) and winning six of their last seven league visits here (D1).[/p]
