The visiting Atlético Madrid side should be favourites in this visit to Elche, as the away team holds a 43 point advantage from their 32 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Atlético Madrid have the fewest conceded goals (20) in La Liga

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Relegation threatens Elche who should definitely be looking for some points here.
