Real Madrid to Win with Handicap (-1)
There is little doubt that Real Madrid will win this game and the odds reflect this. After all, Real Madrid is second in the standings, while Elche is last in La Liga and have been for a while now.
In fact, Elche's win over Villarreal in the last round was their first win of the season and we've already entered the second half of it. So, the only question is by how much will Real Madrid win this game, so our first Real Madrid vs Elche prediction is for Real Madrid to win the match by at least two goals.
Karim Benzema to Score First
Despite the fact that he only notched twelve La Liga appearances this season due to injuries, Karim Benzema is still the team's top goalscorer in the league with nine goals so far.
He is simply the key for Real Madrid's success in almost every game and the game against Elche will be no different. So, our prediction is for Benzema to score the first goal of the match.

Real Madrid – Elche Preview: Team News, Latest Form, and Lineups
Here you can check our previews of both teams, news, forms, and our predicted Real Madrid vs Elche lineups:
Real Madrid
Just a few days after being crowned the World Champions by beating Al Ahly in the final of FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid is back at it in La Liga again as they try to keep the title race interesting. That being said, Barcelona is currently eleven points ahead, so Real Madrid will have to do better and hope for Blaugrana to slip or they won't be defending their title.
Meanwhile, Lucas Vazquez, Ferland Mendy, and Eden Hazard are currently out with injuries, while Vinicius Jr. is suspended at the moment.
Real Madrid Predicted Lineup:
Courtois – Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Camavinga – Modric, Tchouameni, Kroos – Valverde, Benzema, Rodrygo
Elche
After nineteen matches in this La Liga season without a win, Elche finally managed to get all three points for the first time by beating Villarreal away from home. It was a surprising result and truly a positive one for Elche, but it seems that this is a bit too little and definitely too late for Elche to avoid relegation.
When it comes to team news, Elche will miss injured John Nwankwo, Alex Collado, and Tete Morente, while Omar Mascarell and Helibelton Palacios are also out to serve a suspension.
Elche Predicted Lineup:
Badia – Gonzalez, Roco, Magallan – Carmona, Guti, Gumbau, Clerc – Ponce, Boye, Fidel
