Both clubs are in excellent form: Elche are unbeaten in 10 matches in a row, and have won the last four. The team has scored seven goals in the last three matches, which shows its attacking potential. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in peak form, having won 14 matches in a row in all competitions, and regularly score two or more goals in their matches.

In addition, Atletico demonstrates confident play in attack, and Elche tries to use its chances in attack, which makes a scenario with three or more goals scored quite likely.

Diego Simeone team has enough experience and class to overcome the resistance of the hosts. Given Atletico powerful attack and reliable defense, as well as their ability to achieve results in decisive matches, it can be assumed that the visitors will be able to win with a confident difference in the score. Taking all factors into account, the Asian handicap (-1) on Atletico Madrid looks like a reasonable bet.
