Elche vs. Real Madrid

This is a tough matchup for Elche, saddled with a bad offense (eight goals scored in 11 Spanish La Liga games). The defense has been decent (13 goals surrendered) and is coming off a 1-0 loss to Alaves. Elche has home field where they play best. They're on a 1-0-4 unbeaten run at home playing a defensive approach, including a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo and a 0-0 DRAW versus eighth-ranked Athletic Bilbao, and 13 of their last 19 home games have gone UNDER 2.5 goals. Second-ranked Real Madrid can play a defensive style, as well, allowing 11 goals in 10 matches, the fourth-fewest in the 20-team league, and they've allowed just four goals in their last six road games. Play this match to stay UNDER the total.
