The Elche CF manager Jorge Almirón will be grateful to have no fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash thanks to a completely injury-free group available to select from.

It seems likely that Los Franjiverdes look set to use the 5-3-2 formation this time and select Edgar Badia, Gonzalo Verdu, Enzo Roco, Diego Gonzalez, Helibelton Palacios, Carlos Clerc, Gerard Gumbau, Omar Mascarell, Raul Guti, Pere Milla and Lucas Boye.

Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Real Madrid gaffer Carlo Ancelotti to contend with. Dani Ceballos (Knock) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Los Blancos appear most likely to play in a 4-3-3 system using Andriy Lunin, Lucas Vazquez, Antonio Ruediger, Nacho Fernandez, David Alaba, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior.

Our thinking is that Real Madrid will, in all probability, dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.

We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 1-3 win for Real Madrid after 90 minutes.
