Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – Away win – 1.65
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Atletico Madrid Goals handicap (0.5) – 1.64
The guests have no other choice than a win if they want to secure their Champions League spot. Diego Simeone needs a good attacking performance from his players as they failed to score in their three previous away matches.
We think Atletico Madrid are capable of winning this fixture, but we might not see too many goals. Simeone’s team won the previous two games by a one-goal margin.
However, after losing their last 3 away fixtures, Los Colchoneros need to bounce back. We expect the guests will score at least two goals.
Coming into this match, Elche lost their last La Liga fixtures 0:3 against Cadiz, ending a three-match undefeated streak (W2, D1).
Despite an embarrassing defeat, Elche are in 14th place on 30 points. They have already practically secured their place in La Liga for another season.
So far this season, 19 of Los Ilicitano’s 35 fixtures have ended with more than 2.5 total goals.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid secured a vital win against reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid to put themselves on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League.
Being a more defensive team rather than an offensive, 21 of Atletico’s 34 matches have ended with more than 2.5 total goals, and that ratio is higher in their away fixtures, as 12 of the 17 games played so far have had at least three total goals.
Meanwhile, Diego Simeone’s side have got the better of Elche of late with wins in seven straight meetings in the league. They have outscored Los Ilicitanos 14-1 during their winning streak.
