Elche lost 1-0 on the road the last match-day, against the 16th placed Alaves. They were also winless in 11 of their preceding 13 games, and they have managed to deliver a single win at home in the past five-month period.
On the other hand, Real Madrid were held to a goalless draw at home the past game week, by Osasuna.
However, they were unbeaten in 34 of their preceding 39 match-ups, and in the process, they had gone on two separate five-game winning streaks, and another six-game winning run.
They have also been scoring goals in plenty all through this run, and are determined to secure the title which they missed by a whisker the last season to Atleti.
