After Francisco’s dismissal, today’s hosts drew twice, which was a good start for Jorge Almironoa. The 51-year-old Argentine took charge on October 12 and will try to get his first victory in the tournament. Today Elche remains one of the three teams in the TOP-5 leagues in Europe that has never won from the start, while the green-stripes have not won against today’s opponent since 1978. The hosts have three peaceful outcomes and the last position in the La Liga standings, while in the last game the team tied with the difficult Valencia (2:2). It is impossible not to note the terrible performance in defense, where the Valencians conceded 21 times, while 60 percent of the goals were conceded after the 75th minute. Alamo, Fernandez and Fidel, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today.
Madrid beat Barcelona on Sunday, which allowed them to break away from the main competitor by three points. This victory not only delighted the fans, but also left Real Madrid as the only undefeated team in La Liga. Carlo Ancelotti spoke positively of his players after El Clasico, calling his team’s performance in the first half “the key to victory”. Recall that already in the 12th minute, the score was opened by the newly-made owner of the Golden Ball Karim Benzema. It is impossible not to remember that in the current tournament, the “creamy” opened with five away matches in a row, while scoring an average of 2.4 goals. The capital last achieved such success in away matches in 1992, but then in the end they ended up only second. In the Champions League last week, the Whites pulled out a draw in the last seconds in a duel with Shakhtar and secured their place in the playoffs ahead of schedule. Courtois and Ceballos, who has a hip injury, will not be able to play today. By the way, if you are interested in 90% accurate football predictions, we recommend that you follow the link.
