Real Madrid travel to the Estadio Martinez Valero in Elche for this LaLiga fixture against a home side sitting at the bottom of the table and desperate for points.
Jose Mourinho's side arrive in strong form after a 4-1 dismantling of Rayo Vallecano last weekend, a result that lifted them to second in LaLiga and level on points with leaders Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe was central to that performance, scoring twice and adding an assist in a display that underlined why Real Madrid's attack is generating such attention across Europe.
Bernardo Silva, still settling into life in the Spanish capital, has spoken openly about his astonishment at the quality of his attacking teammates following that Rayo win. The Portuguese playmaker is expected to feature again here as Mourinho looks to maintain momentum on two fronts.
Elche are in serious trouble. Martin Anselmi's side have won none of their last five LaLiga matches, collecting just two draws and suffering defeats to Real Sociedad, Racing Santander, and Barcelona, the latter a 5-0 hammering. They sit nineteenth in the table and have yet to find the consistency needed to threaten the relegation places above them.
Real Madrid will be without Eder Militao, Rodrygo, and Ferland Mendy through injury, though the depth of Mourinho's squad means the visitors remain heavy favourites. Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are set to lead the line, and Jude Bellingham continues to operate in the kind of form that makes this attack one of the most feared in European football.
