Elche hosts Real Madrid in round 16 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 30th at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero (Elche)
To date, Elche avoids the relegation zone, outranking it by one point. This position of Elche looks extremely precarious and requires regular replenishment of point piggy bank. Jorge Almiron's charges play in a pragmatic style with massive defense and a bet on counterattacking football. Such a game style is the only possible one for such a modest team. Mainly experienced footballers (the average age is 29) compose the backbone of the team. Among the main veterans of Elche, it is worth highlighting Barragan, Carrillo, Marcone, and Mino. Rigoni, Fidel, Boye, and Tete Morente are holding a good season.

The Spanish grandee handed out points for a long time and began to defeat its opponents on a stable basis only in the extreme rounds. Real Madrid resolved the issue of advancing to the Champions League playoffs in the last round of the group stage (1st place in the quartet). In the championship, the Whites gained five victories in a row and took the second line in the standings. It is they and their neighbors from Atletico who are the main favorites in the fight for gold. However, the Mattress Makers have two games in reserve. Real Madrid's roster looks powerful and hasn't changed much since last year's championship. The veterans (Sergio Ramos, Varane, Courtois, Benzema, Casemiro, Carvajal, Modric, and Kroos) play the leading roles in the team. Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo, Valverde, and F. Mendy look good in the current championship.
Real Madrid is in excellent shape. It won back a serious gap from Atlético and beat the Mattress Makers in a head-to-head match (2:0). Elche looks like an easy opponent for Zidane's charges, who are trying to outrank all competitors in the fight for the title. The visitors will have an absolute advantage on the football field, and we think that they will manage to win with a difference of more than one goal.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -1.5 handicap
