Elche vs Atletico Madrid Prediction: The guests have an excellent chance of winning the game

Sunday's pool of the 34th round of the Spanish La Liga will continue with the encounter between Elche and Atletico Madrid. The bookmakers believe that the capital team have an excellent chance of winning the upcoming game.

Elche is guaranteed to leave La Liga at the end of the current season. After 33 games, the visitors have 16 points, 18 points less than Valencia in 17th position. In their last five games, Elche has four defeats and a sensational home win over Rayo Vallecano. Elche also has the worst home statistics in the league, +2=4-10, 15:27 goal difference.

At the end of the season, they have two objectives: guaranteeing their participation in the Champions League next season as soon as possible and finishing above Real Madrid in the tournament. So far, Athletic have coped well with those two objectives, finishing one point ahead of Real Madrid in five rounds before the end of the first leg. That said, it should not be forgotten that the club's return leg against Manchester City is ahead of them, which means they will likely lose some points in the next two rounds. The current tone for Atletico is excellent, with a 3-match winning streak, and all the victories of this period have been productive and confident. In the last three games, they scored 13 goals, although the capital team has conceded in each match. Atletico has the division's second-best away statistics, better than Barcelona, +10=3-3, 24:12 goal difference.

Lately, Atletico has become a very productive team. At the same time, it should not be forgotten that the capital team has a decent defense, and Elche has not scored against the opponents in the last four fixtures. Atletico themselves have been conceding regularly of late, which needs to stop, and Elche is the optimal opponent for that. If we put it all together, we conclude that the Athletic have an excellent chance of securing a confident, and possibly smashing, dry victory over a team already guaranteed to start next season in the second most crucial division of Spanish football.
