Elche, who last played in the La Liga 25 summers ago, has made a name for itself in this season. Not a great deal was expected of them, but they played tenacious football, which was evident in their hard-earned 2-1 win over Valencia in the last week. Limits of their tenacity will be tested when they host Atletico Madrid on this Saturday. Atletico are in red hot form in the La Liga, having made mincemeat of Getafe a week earlier.

Normally this should be an easy bet: Atletico Madrid to win. These two teams do not meet each other often: just eight matches in the last three decades. Atletico lead this limited H2H sample 5-3. An interesting fact is that there have not been any draws between these two teams over the last thirty years. You get us or we will get you – this has been their motto.

Recent form clearly bets in favor of Atletico. Except for the loss against Espanyol and a draw against Villarreal, they have won all their matches, including the one against Real Madrid. Elche would note that both the loss and the draw have come in away matches.

The last time Elche won a match, they won their next two games too. Now, they have won a match against after a gap. Can they score a hat-trick again? They do not have any injury woes. Richmond Boakye, Fidel and Edu Albácar are all ready to start. Atletico too is likely to field their full-strength team, with Diego Costa, David Villa and Raúl García roaming the rival goal mouth.
