Elche vs Real Madrid La Liga Tips, Prediction & Live Stream

Elche are shipping goals and enduring poor starts to open the season, so Real Madrid are backed to be winning at half-time and full-time, with Turkish star Arda Guler potentially playing a starring role.

It's been a miserable start to the season for Elche after a summer of turmoil - they've gone winless across their opening five games, leaking 13 goals in the process. Slow starts have been a common theme, with Elche falling behind at the break in four of their five outings.

So there's your main play - Real winning at HT/FT.

However, for all their troubles, Elche can get on the scoresheet in defeat here.

Martin Anselmi's side have scored in four of their five games this season, along with their last two meetings with Real Madrid.

Real are unsurprisingly humming in attack, but their defence remains vulnerable - they were guilty of taking their foot off the pedal against Rayo Vallecano this past weekend and have now conceded in five of their six games in all competitions this season. They were also outplayed for large portions of their 2-1 Champions League win over Inter.

So Elche can find the back of the net, but Real simply have too much firepower. Jose Mourinho could potentially rest some players for this one with the Madrid derby coming up, but Arda Guler came off the bench against Vallecano and should be set for a start here. He's already had three goal involvements in five games in La Liga this term and can contribute to another in this one.

Elche vs Real Madrid Head To Head

Real are unbeaten against Elche dating back ton 1978, winning 15 and drawing four of the last 19 meetings.

Elche Form Analysis

There were signs Elche could struggle this season after head coach Eder Sarabia resigned over the summer, along with the likes of David Affengruber and Aleix Febas departing the club.

Martin Anselmi has taken charge and he's already under pressure, with Elche going winless across their opening five games of the campaign.

Elche are conceding an average of 2.6 goals per game, suffering three straight defeats to Barcelona (5-0), Racing Santander (3-2) and Real Sociedad (3-2) either side of 1-1 draws with Deportiva La Coruna and Athletic Bilbao in their first and most-recent games of the season.

Facundo Buonanotte's 50th minute penalty against Bilbao this past weekend appeared set to give Elche their first win of the season, but they conceded an equaliser in the 80th minute and were forced to settle for another share of the spoils.

Elche Team News

Yago Santiago is still recovering from a knee injury and won't feature before the international break.

Kevin Lomonaco arrived on deadline day from Argentine club Independiente and the defender could be set for a debut in this one.

Thomas Lemar scored in Elche's last home game and could be set to start here after coming off the bench in the last two fixtures.

Elche Possible Starting XI (5-4-1): Matias Dituro; Buba Sangare, Victor Chust, David Affengruber, Leo Petrot, Adria Pedrosa; German Valera, Aleix Febas, Marc Aguado, Thomas Lemar; Rafa Mir

Real Madrid Form Analysis

Real have won four of their five La Liga games to be sitting on 12 points coming into this one, three adrift of rivals Barcelona at the top of the table.

Overall, it's been a pretty solid start for Jose Mourinho's second spell in charge, but defensively there is still some work to be done, with Real only keeping one clean sheet in their six matches.

After winning their opening three games over Espanyol (2-1), Real Sociedad (4-1) and Malaga (4-0), Real were stunned in a 1-0 defeat away to Betis, with Kylian Mbappe missing various golden chances, including a penalty.

Real bounced back with a 2-1 win over Inter in their Champions League opener, but it wasn't a convincing performance, conceding 64 per cent of possession to the Italian champions and losing the shot count 16-21.

Real came out of the blocks firing in their most-recent 4-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on the weekend, with Mbappe netting a brace and Alvaro Carreras and Jude Bellingham also getting on the scoresheet.

Real Madrid Team News

Mbappe has six goals and one assist in his five La Liga outings this season.

Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo all remain sidelined through injury.

Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Guler came off the bench in the win over Vallecano and could feature from the start if Mourinho decides to rotate, with his side playing a third game in eight days.

Real Madrid Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Dean Huijsen, Fran Garcia; Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga; Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, Vinicius Junior; Kylian Mbappe
