Elche vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Real Madrid have conceded in three of their four league wins this season
• The visitors have conceded in five of six matches across all competitions
• Elche have seen BTTS in four of their five league games, but they’re yet to win this term

Defensive concerns continue for Real

Real Madrid picked up their fourth win of the season in La Liga on Saturday, but Jose Mourinho’s side were unable to keep a clean sheet once again.

Real eased by Rayo Vallecano, racing into a 3-0 lead by half-time. However, Rayo scored a second-half consolation in a 4-1 victory, which followed a 2-1 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek. Overall, Mourinho’s side have conceded in five of the six games they’ve played this term.

Real have conceded in visits to Real Betis and Espanyol in La Liga this term, and they visit an Elche side who have been in fine form in front of goal.

The hosts have scored in four of their first five league games, despite failing to pick up a victory. Elche have suffered 3-2 defeats to Racing Santander and Real Sociedad across their last three games, so they could add to Real’s issues at the back.

The visitors have generated 14.6 Expected Goals across their opening five league games, and their attacking talent should see them ease past the winless hosts. However, Elche have recorded 6.2 xG for the campaign, and Real are likely to give them chances.
