Predictions & Statistics

Elche sit 18 with 32 points after 31 matches and remain under pressure to produce steadier results. Their record of 7 wins, 11 draws, and 13 losses, together with goals at 39:47, reflects mixed form over their recent run. Much of their threat comes through R. Mir (8 goals), Andre Silva (7 goals), A. Rodriguez (5 goals), with creative support from M. Neto (5 assists), A. Rodriguez (4 assists), G. Valera (4 assists), while the defensive numbers suggest they have been quite vulnerable. At home, they have managed 7 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses, a return that supports a very strong split record. They are under visible pressure near the relegation zone. In football terms they often show a more cautious and defensive approach. They are not at full strength, with G. Diangana, A. Boayar, M. Aguado unavailable, although the overall attacking core still looks largely intact.

With 57 points from 31 games and a place of 4, Atletico Madrid still have clear room for improvement in overall consistency. Across the season they have posted 17 wins, 6 draws, and 8 defeats, and the 51:32 goal record continues to suggest mixed form and are going through a difficult losing run. Their attacking burden often falls on A. Sorloth (10 goals), J. Alvarez (8 goals), A. Griezmann (6 goals), with creative support from G. Simeone (6 assists), J. Alvarez (4 assists), Marcos Llorente (4 assists), while at the back they have been fairly stable. Away from home, they have returned 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, which indicates a fairly balanced split record. They are pushing for upper-table objectives and still have something important to play for. Stylistically, they tend to play with balanced attacking football. Although they are without A. Sorloth, J. M. Gimenez, D. Hancko, that absence is especially important because it affects one of their main scoring outlets.
