Team News

Elche
Real Madrid
  • Pablo Piatti will likely miss out with his knee injury, though he is nearing a return.
  • Elche could move to a back five here as they look to sure up defensively having struggled for form of late.
  • That could see Antonio Barragan come in as a centre-back, alongside Pedro Bigas and Gonzalo Verdu.
  • Dani Ceballos and Gareth Bale remain out for the foreseeable future, but Dani Carvajal is back and could well start here,
  • Fede Valverde remains out until at least next week, while Isco has also been ruled out. Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Luka Modric is back after skipping their last game with fatigue.
  • Eduardo Camavinga could keep his place after looking lively last time out.

Prediction

  • Elche are slipping dangerously towards the drop zone despite enjoying a good start to the season, and they suffered a damaging defeat last time out, losing 1-0 to Alaves. That followed a draw with Espanyol and a defeat to Rayo Vallecano, leaving them just three places above the drop zone ahead of a very tough outing here and one they won't be fancied to get any points from.
  • Real Madrid, meanwhile, suffered a setback of their own last time out, drawing 0-0 with a tough-to-beat Osasuna and failing to build on their Clásico win over Barcelona. Following a defeat to Espanyol before the international break, Los Blancos have won just one of their last three league outings, and Carlo Ancelotti must find an answer to his side's league form.
  • They should fine one here against an Elche side who are without a clean sheet in three games and struggling to find any sort of form currently.
