Atl. Madrid vs Elche Prediction & Betting tips
The starting shot of the Spanish football Saturday sounds from the Wanda Metropolitano, where Atlético Madrid receives a visit from PhD candidate Elche. In 2017 these teams met each other for the last time: in the Copa del Rey, Diego Simeone’s men were 4-1 too strong in two duels.
Atletico Madrid:
The season got off to an excellent start for Simeone’s team, which achieved the desired results in both the domestic league and the Champions League. El Cholo led his men to second place behind Bayern Munich in Group A and last Monday at the draw in Nyon, Switzerland, Chelsea came out of the sleeve as an opponent for the eighth finals. In LaLiga, Atlético remained unbeaten until the tenth round, but last week the club went to visit Real Madrid 2-0 for the first time.
In the duel with the fellow townsman Atleti had little to crumble in the milk. After the squatter, Simeone in particular was the bitten dog, who was accused of making the wrong choices about the exchange policy. He reached into his own bosom and admitted that he was wrong when he took Joao Félix to the side in place of the disappointing Luis Suárez. In the run-up to the new round of play, los Colchoneros are in the lead with 26 points from eleven appearances. Real Sociedad and Real Madrid sail in the wake with the same number of points, but needed fourteen and thirteen games respectively.
Elche:
Just like the opponent, Elche cannot be dissatisfied with the opening phase of the new season. Especially the first weeks of the return to the highest level were impressive. In the four games that followed after the defeat against Real Sociedad in the opening round (0-3), the men of coach José Almirón managed to grab no less than ten points. After that, however, sand got into the engine of the franjiverdes, which means that the club currently has to settle for a fourteenth place in the rankings.
The PhD candidate’s matches are generally characterized by the lack of goals. In eleven games, Elche only managed to hit nine times, making it, along with two other teams, the least accurate club in the competition. On the other hand, little is given away in the back either: with eleven goals against, the defense is able to compensate for the lack of scoring ability excellently. Midfielder Tete Morente is seen as one of the revelations of the season and for him Saturday’s game has a special touch given his past at Atlético Madrid.
