Atletico Madrid vs Elche Predictions

• Three of Atletico’s seven league victories have been by at least two goals
• Elche have conceded three times as many goals as they have scored on the road
• Elche have lost three times by more than one goal in their seven away games

Atletico searching for consistency

Atletico Madrid will be hoping the international break has done them some good as they look to end a run of just one win in six games.

Diego Simeone’s side lost only one of those half a dozen fixtures though, while they have already won seven La Liga outings, three of which were by at least two goals.

All of those results came against sides in the bottom half of the table; Getafe, Celta Vigo and Sevilla, while seven of their nine defeats of Elche have come by a cushion in excess of one goal.

Elche in trouble

While Atletico are hoping to put a run of results together, Elche already look like they need a miracle to stay up, as they sit bottom of the table and without a victory this season.

Their poor form has led to a change of manager, and new boss Pablo Machín, who takes charge of his first league game, is now hoping to avoid a fourth defeat of the season by at least two goals.

Los Franjiverdes have found scoring a particular issue, netting just six times in as many away fixtures, while conceding 18 times in the process.

I predict that Atletico Madrid will win this game with a -1 handicap, selecting 3-1 as a correct score prediction.
