Relegated Elche will host Atletico Madridin a La Liga fixture on Sunday.
The hosts have lost their last 11 meetings with Atletico de Madrid in La Liga, their worst run of consecutive defeats against a single opponent in the top-flight. In fact, Elche’s last victory against Atlético de Madrid in La Liga was a 1-0 win back in April 1985. No player who has appeared for Elche in the competition this season was even born at the time of that last victory.
Meanwhile, Diego Simeone's men have scored five or more goals in back-to-back La Liga games for the fourth time in their history, and for the first time since January 1948, they are on a phenomenal run and have won their last three matches.
They are currently second in La Liga and would hope to further strengthen their grip on the runners-up spot with a win over the bottom-placed side.
Meanwhile, Elche are set to go down to the second division as they have just 16 points from 33 matches. They are 18 points behind safety and have just five games in hand.
