Real Madrid vs Elche 23.01.2022

Real Madrid continued their match towards back-to-back La Liga titles with a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. This left them 4 points clear at the top after second-placed Sevilla drew in their last match.

A good run of 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 matches has seen Elche rise 5 points clear of the relegation zone. Nevertheless, that unbeaten run faces a stern test in this match

Real Madrid have won 6 of their last 7 encounters with Elche. We expect the league leaders to take control of the game from early on and win the first half.
