Elche - Real Madrid live online: score, stats and updates
Jorge Almirón’s men, who are at the bottom of the standings, were close to get the victory against Valencia in a game that finally ended in a 2-2 draw last weekend, while Los Blancos defeated archrivals Barcelona 3-1 at the Bernabéu to go three points clear at the top.
Real Madrid are untouchable in LaLiga
It won’t be easy for the hosts to get the three points, as Real Madrid have registered only four defeats in their last 47 LaLiga clashes and have only dropped two points so far this season.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side will look for another victory against ‘Los Franjiverdes’ to keep their lead in the table, and make their win over Barcelona count, while the Catalans will be facing the always difficult Villarreal side at home.
Centre-back Pedro Bigas, who suffered a nasty clash of heads against Valencia, will likely be ready for the match against Real after training normally with the rest of his teammates. Meanwhile, Gerard Gumbau and Lucas Boye will return to the team.
However, one of the best players on the team, winger Fidel Chaves, will miss out again due to a hamstring injury.
Real Madrid won’t be able to call upon goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois once again, so Andriy Lunin will be in the starting XI for the sixth consecutive game for the visitors.
