Elche take on the visitors Atletico Madrid at “Estadion Manuel Martinez Valero” in the first-leg match of the 1/16 final stage of the Copa del Rey. The game will be played on Wednesday, October 25th.
Currently Elche perform in the Segunda Division B which is Spain’s third football tier where the team makes no great achievements, having gained single victory out of five recent clashes alongside with two draws and two defeats with the latest two encounters lost to Llagostera-Costa Brava 1:2 and Alcoyano 0:2. With 10 rounds behind in the Segunda Division B, Elche sit on the fourth place in the standings with 18 points earned and 20-10 goal difference. In the Copa del Rey the club recorded three triumphs: 3:2 over Badalona, 3:2 vs. Durango and 1:0 over Hercules. “Blanquiverdes” participated in six encounters at their own turf in this season, having got three victories, two draws and single loss in them.

Meanwhile, last Sunday Atletico Madrid beat Celta Vigo with 1:0 scoreline, having broken their four-game no-win streak and three-draw series. With nine matchdays played, “Los Colchoneros” sit on the fourth position in the LaLiga standings with 19 points taken and 14-5 goal difference. Diego Simeone’s side hasn’t lost any clash on the road in this season, having gained three wins and five draws in eight away encounters, leaving its goalposts untouched for 270 minutes of football already.
Atletico Madrid succeeded in last four head-to-heads against Elche with 9:0 aggregated score. I believe that “Los Colchoneros” will get another confident win.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
