Real Madrid host Elche in the return of La Liga for Los Blancos, who need three points if they are to cut Barcelona’s current lead to eight points. Los Blancos should be able to win this game if they take it seriously and are accurate in front of goal.
Real Madrid vs Elche | Predicted lineups
Elche is all but relegated to Segunda Division after only half a season, but they picked up their first win against Villarreal in their final encounter. Rodrygo will take over for Vinicius — who is currently suspended — on Real Madrid’s left wing, so it will be interesting to watch how he performs in what is considered the best position for him, even if that is always Vinicius’ duty.
- Real Madrid predicted XI: Lunin, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba, Tchouameni, Modric, Ceballos, Valverde, Rodrygo, Benzema.
- Elche predicted XI: Badia, Enzo, Magallan, Bigas, Carmona, Gumbau, Guti, Clerc, Boye, Fidel, Ponce.
