Elche vs Real Madrid prediction

THE FORECAST

Real Madrid, despite a significant injury list (Militao, Rodrygo, Tchouameni, Mendy, Endrick), still has sufficient quality to dominate a relegation candidate like Elche, especially given the scoring ability (2.8 GF) versus Elche's weak defense (2.6 GA, no clean sheet). The temperature of 30°C and the upcoming Madrid Derby against Atlético increase the rotation risk at Real Madrid, but even a rotated squad maintains a large class advantage over the injury-hit Elche (position 19, form DLLLD). Elche's new signings such as Lemar show potential, but five matches without a win and the absence of four players weigh heavily against an opponent of this caliber.
