Playing at home feels relaxed and friendly for Elche, but Atlético Madrid are fully set and qualified to win. What will happen?

Insights:
  • Elche have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Atlético Madrid have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Elche nor Atlético Madrid as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Elche form and stats

Elche have played 17 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-6-5 (wins-draws-losses).

Elche faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cadiz (0-3). Midfield player Palacios got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Palacios dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Osasuna.

The manager Vílchez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Celta de Vigo in only four days.

The Elche fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 17 matches. Elche's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. When Elche hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Levante, Mallorca, Granada, Getafe, Cadiz and Deportivo Alavés), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.
