Real Madrid vs. Elche Analysis
Real Madrid
Blancos were crowned Club World Cup champions for a record-extending fifth time last week, beating Al-Hilal in the final in Morocco. Los Blancos booked their place in the 2022 Club World Cup after winning another UEFA Champions League last season.
Although Real will be delighted with their Club World Cup success, Barcelona won again in the league last weekend and stretched their lead at the summit to 11 points. Merengues have a game in hand, but Barca look a good bet to win the title this term.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men were beaten at Mallorca in their last league game. Their form in the league has been pretty poor of late, as they have won four, drawn one, and lost three of their last eight.
Having collected just seven points from a possible 15, Real will be desperate to get back to winning ways here. They take on the league’s bottom club on home soil, so the Spanish champions should secure all three points on Wednesday.

Elche
Elche are having a season to forget, and look nailed on for relegation. The Green-Striped Ones are rooted to the foot of the table after collecting a mere nine points from 20 games. They are already 11 points adrift of safety.
Elche finished 13th in La Liga last term, but the club from the Valencian Community have been well out of their depth this season. Elche have picked up just one victory from 20 league games, drawing six and losing 13 of the other 19.
Elche’s only league success this season came in their last game, as Pablo Machin’s men battled hard to see off Villarreal at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero. Pere Milla Pena was the hero, scoring a hat-trick in the 3-1 win.
Elche would love to build on that by securing a shock result against the champions in Madrid on Wednesday, but they are the overwhelming underdogs at +1400. Check out our Real Madrid vs Elche betting predictions and soccer betting tips.
