The outift from Alicante romped the Segunda Division last season, but have so far struggled a little in the top flight, although their defensive resolve has seen them pick up three draws so far.
Another stalemate is offered at 9/2 [5.50] by Bet365 while Elche can be backed at 9/1 [10.00] for the three points. Madrid for their part are available at 2/7 [1.14].
While their previous two away games at Granada and Villarreal have not seen the most convincing performances from Real Madrid, the feeling is that the team is slowly getting close to a level demanded of them by Carlo Ancelotti.
Sunday's 4-1 win over Getafe saw them play some stunning stuff and they will surely be too strong for an Elche side who have struggled to impose themselves in matches
