As part of the next match of the 1/8 finals of the Spanish Cup, Elche and Real Madrid will come face to face. Will the favorite be able to win this match? LiveResult.Ru gives a forecast for this confrontation.
"Elche"
In the previous round of the Spanish Cup, the team of the hosts managed to win a strong-willed victory over Almeria with a score of 2:1. It is worth noting the fact that the winning goal was scored by the players of Elche already on the "flag". Before that, Francisco's team won against teams from the lower Spanish football divisions. It is worth noting the fact that "Elche" performed great in the first half of January. In the four previous meetings, the team managed to get three wins and 1 draw. In the framework of La Liga, Elche shared points with Granada, and also beat Espanyol and Villarreal.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup last week, confirming the title of the best team in the country. At the semi-final stage, the Creamies were able to beat Barcelona 3-2 in extra time, after which the Royal club did not leave any chances for Athletic Bilbao in the decisive match. Karim Benzema was able to score one of the goals again. In the previous round of the Spanish Cup, Real Madrid easily passed Alcoyano, defeating the opponent with a score of 3:1.
Statistics and figures:
- Real Madrid - the favorite of the meeting;
- "Elche" has a 3-match winning streak;
- Real Madrid have not lost in 4 previous meetings;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Madrid.
Forecast
I think that in this meeting it makes sense to bet on the victory of Real Madrid. I don't think Madrid will play cat and mouse with the opponent. Most likely, the "cream" will jump off the bat and win over their opponent, making it to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
