Real Madrid to Win
Only a few days after winning the Super Cup, Real Madrid is playing to reach the quarter-finals of Copa del Rey. Since the team has been in great form this season, we have no doubt that they will win this game.
That being said, Elche is not in bad form either with three wins in the last six games in La Liga. Still, Real Madrid is a league above them in terms of quality and form and they've beaten Elche in four of their last five head-to-head duels.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
Three of the previous five h2h meetings between Elche and Real Madrid have gone over 2.5 total goals and we can see that happening once again on Thursday.
After all, Real Madrid averaged 3.00 goals per game this season in the league and they generally play offensive football in all games. Meanwhile, Elche averaged 2.33 goals per game in La Liga so far.

Recent form, team news, and potential lineups for Elche vs Real Madrid
With both teams in good form, this should be a good match. So, let's take a closer look at both teams right away:
Elche
With three wins, one draw, and two losses in the last six games in La Liga, Elche is doing pretty well lately. The team climbed up to the 15th spot in the standings and they are now five points away from the first team in the relegation zone. Now, the team will try to upset Real Madrid and reach the quarter-finals of Copa del Rey.
Fidel, Palacios, and Kiko Casilla will likely miss the game after they tested positive for COVID recently. Meanwhile, Bigas, Verdu, and Boye should be back from recent injuries, if they can pass a fitness test.
Elche predicted lineup:
Werner – Barragan, Roco, Gonzalez, Josema – Fernandez, Guti, Marcone, Piatti – Pastore – Milla
Real Madrid
So far, Real Madrid can be very happy with their season. The team is currently first in La Liga, five points ahead of Sevilla in second place. They also reached the Top 16 stage of Champions League, and they enter the game against Elche in the Top 16 phase of Copa del Rey after winning the Spanish Super Cup over the weekend. So, things are obviously going very well in Madrid.
That being said, Real Madrid has a few personnel issues. Marco Asensio, Gareth Bale, and Mariano Diaz are all out of the upcoming game with injuries. Also, Eder Militao has to serve a suspension, while Dani Carvajal is questionable with coronavirus.
Real Madrid predicted lineup:
Lunin – Vazquez, Nacho, Alaba, Marcelo – Valverde, Casemiro, Camavinga – Rodrygo, Jovic, Hazard
- Which club is the favourite in this game? Real Madrid is the clear favourite at 8/15 (1.53) odds.
- When will the match start? The match will start at 6 pm BST on Thursday, January 20th.
- Who is the host? Elche is the host at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero in Elche.
