Real Madrid has a golden chance to make it six wins in a row in the La Liga before 2020 comes to an end. The side will travel to the Martinez Valero Stadium on Wednesday to take on Elche with kickoff at 11:30 pm.
Los Blancos joined league leaders Atletico on 32 points following their previous impressive run. Elche currently sits 16th on the table having picked up 15 points from their previous 13 matches in La Liga.
Elche head into the match-winning three, drawn six and lost four of their last 13 league matches this season. The side currently picked up 15 points to occupy the 16th position while clear of the relegation zone.
The Los Franjiverdes secured a return to the La Liga from the 2019-20 Segunda Division playoffs. The side enters into Wednesday’s clash following a 2-2 draw to Osasuna late last week.
Elche has not won any game in the La Liga since October 13, but they have two games in hand on several teams around them. Therefore, it presents a source of motivation for the side with their position on the table.
