Elche take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 11th at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero (Elche).
There were skeptical forecasts for the new, current season, especially given the notorious syndrome of the 2nd season. But it has already managed to score more points than in the last draw of La Liga. Even the mathematical risks of relegation for Francisco's wards are minimal. However, until recently they had good results: April victories over Mallorca and Betis, a draw with Osasuna. And only at the weekend the team, such an impression, allowed itself to relax, losing to Cadiz, motivated by the struggle for survival, which scored 3 unanswered goals. But, in any case, there will be no significant change in the standings for the team: there will be no relegation, and everything else is not so important.

The expectations of this season were certainly high, given the fact that last summer money was spent on not cheap players, ranging from Matheus Cunha and De Paul to the return of Griezmann. Perhaps Diego Simeone wanted to rebuild the game of his wards, to make it more spectacular, attacking. As a result, the usual reliability at their own gates was lost. Performances in the super cup and cup were a failure. In the LaLiga, it was only by the end of winter they managed to get into the quartet of leaders, thanks Betis and Real Sociedad stumble, not using the opportunity to move the capital's club. On Sunday, Atlético played an important match in all respects - the Madrid derby against the already champion Real Madrid. There, the only goal was scored from the penalty spot by Ferreira-Carrasco.
Elche after returning to the Example is not bad. But with Atlético, nothing has worked out for him so far: the metropolitan giant has won all 3 head-to-heads with a total score of 5-1. Boye is injured in Elche. Atletico are left without Joao Felix and Tom Lemar. Bookmakers consider the favorite of the couple, of course, Atlético. But Elche is also not bad, so “over 2.0 goals” seems to be a good option.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored.
