Real Madrid vs Elche: prediction for the La Liga fixture
Real Madrid are trailing Barcelona by 11 points now. Can Elche get the points in the La Liga battle on February 15? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti recently denied rumours about his move to Brazil national team. Head coach of the Whites led his team to a 5th Club World Cup title, grabbing a 5:3 victory over Al Hilal in the final. That success should give a confidence boost to the champions in their ongoing battle against Barcelona, who are already 11 points ahead of Los Blancos.
Madrid suffered all three defeats in the current season on away games, so Real should get closer to the Catalan club following a home game. Ancelotti was disappointed with team's defensive performance in a match against Al Hilal, so team's main goal is to improve the defensive quality.
Kroos, Lucas, Vinicius, Mendy, Hazard and Courtois will miss the upcoming game.

Elche

Elche finally achieved a success in La Liga, beating cross-town rivals from Villarreal by a 3:1 score. But it is their first win in the current season and team still has a mountain to climb, because right now the visitors lie hopelessly at the relegation zone, ten points away from safety.
Team's main problem is road performance. The White-Greens had no away victories since April 2022, but they managed to snatch three draws. After 20 matches, the Green-striped oneshave one victory and six draws, delivering nine points and a 20th position in the standings.
Palacios, Milla, Mascarell, Collado, Chetauyah and Alamo will miss the upcoming game.
