Real Madrid - Elche betting tips and odds

With the betting odds being what they are, an Elche win or even a draw would be incredibly surprising. Real Madrid are very hard favourites and their victory seems almost inevitable.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Real M. and the 16.00 odds given to Elche to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

If the previous round is to be of any indication, Real are not playing up to their usual standards. They conceded early against Mallorca , and never managed to get back on their feet. Ultimately, they will now be looking to recover from what turned out to be a surprising 1:0 defeat.

An HT/FT victory with a 3:1 goal difference is an impressive achievement in almost any context, but the fact that Elche recorded it against Villarreal is what makes their performance in the previous round truly staggering. For reference, top bookmakers online priced their victory at 1.72 before kick-off.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

As this year’s season trudges on, the competition at the top of the table is heating up. Real Madrid are 8 points behind the current leaders, giving them plenty of motivation to secure 3 points in this favourable matchup.

The season hasn’t been going great for Elche. They’re stuck at 20th place, well within the relegation zone. To make things worse, their chances of earning points against Los Blancos are not great either.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Real Madrid walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Elche supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

With Thibaut Courtois, Éder Militão, Ferland Mendy, Lucas Vázquez, Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema all out of the picture, Real M.’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

The 2.63 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
