A closer look at Real Madrid’s astounding record against Elche ahead of LaLiga clash

A closer look at Real Madrid’s astounding record against Elche ahead of LaLiga clash Real Madrid are looking to capitalise on their recent winning run as they take on Elche CF in midweek. After the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis, Real Madrid are coming on the back of two back-to-back wins against Inter Milan and Rayo Vallecano, though neither of the performances was convincing enough. Jose Mourinho’s men now shift their sights to the upcoming game against Elche, and if history is anything to go by, this should be a slam dunk for the club. Real Madrid’s exceptional record vs Elche Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with Elche, winning seven and drawing three. Even more impressively, they have scored in every single one of those 10 games, racking up a staggering 24 goals in the process. Real Madrid will look to maintain pace with Barcelona.

That kind of consistency will give Mourinho’s men plenty of confidence heading into the fixture, particularly as they look to build momentum after a mixed start to the campaign. On paper, then, this represents an excellent opportunity for Real Madrid to extend their winning run and keep pace with Barcelona at the top of the table. Potential roadblocks for Real Madrid However, Real Madrid would do well not to take anything for granted , given some of the issues that have crept into their recent performances. The most glaring concern has been a lack of concentration, particularly in the second halves of matches. Mourinho will look to ensure consistency across 90 minutes. (Photo by Fran Santiago/Getty Images) Against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid looked disjointed after the break, allowing their opponents a couple of dangerous openings despite eventually running out 4-1 winners. A similar pattern was evident against Inter Milan, where the team eased into a 2-0 lead before inviting unnecessary pressure and conceding late on. That profligacy in front of goal, combined with defensive vulnerabilities when the team is stretched, has been a recurring theme. Elche, meanwhile, will have nothing to lose and could pose problems if Real Madrid switch off, as they have shown a tendency to do. Mourinho will therefore demand greater focus and intensity across the full 90 minutes.
