Prediction published on 17/10/2022, 21:35  by Daniel Ngulu in LaLiga Predictions

Real Madrid are back on top of the Spanish La Liga after their home win in the El Clasico and they have an easier outing next, an away game to Elche. Ahead of this game, Madrid, the reigning champions, have 25 points at the league summit while Elche are rock bottom with just three points from their opening nine games. Hosts Elche go into this game as the only team yet to register a win in La Liga, and are thus deservedly bottom of the standings. They have also conceded the most goals thus far – 21. In history, they’ve faced Real Madrid nine times and have never emerged winners. In their nine league games this season, Elche have six losses and come into this game having conceded two or more goals in four of their last five.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are flying high after their 3-1 win over Barcelona. That was their eighth win in nine matches, and they are the only remaining unbeaten side in the league. They are also the highest scorers so far in La Liga and this dominance should carry them to three points in this game. In their last meeting with Elche, Real Madrid had to come from two goals down, scoring twice in the final eight minutes to claim a point in a 2-2 draw. Real Madrid are unbeaten in their 14 matches this season, across all competitions, and they’ve scored in each of these matches. They’ve scored less than two goals in only three of these matches. However, going into this game, they have one clean sheet only in their last six matches. Their top man, Karim Benzema is back from injury, scored in the Clasico before being named the Ballon d’Or winner and he will be a man to watch here.
