Real Madrid Travels to Elche Seeking Redemption
After a shaky patch leading up to the international break, Real Madrid will travel to Elche hoping for a comfortable victory against the newly promoted side. What began as a promising campaign under Xabi Alonso has recently hit a snag, with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Liverpool followed by a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano.
This stumble has allowed Barcelona to close the gap at the top of La Liga to just three points. Another slip-up could see the defending champions snatch the top spot. The good news for Real Madrid is that their return to league action is against Elche, a team they have historically dominated.
Real Madrid boasts an impressive 17-game unbeaten streak against Elche, with Elche's last victory dating back to 1975. This historical dominance provides a psychological advantage for Los Blancos as they aim to regain their momentum.
