Match Preview: What’s at stake?
Elche and Real Madrid arrive at the Martinez Valero with very different objectives on the line in Matchday 6 of LaLiga. Elche are still searching for their first league win of the season and sit 19th with two points, although a 1-1 draw away to Athletic Club in their most recent outing offered some encouragement.
Martin Anselmi’s side will now try to turn that improved defensive performance into a major result against one of the title contenders. Real Madrid, meanwhile, need another victory to keep pace at the top of the table.

Jose Mourinho’s team are second and three points behind leaders Barcelona heading into the trip to Elche, making this a potentially important opportunity to maintain pressure on the Catalan club.
Madrid also have Atletico Madrid waiting in the derby on September 20, so securing three points at the Martinez Valero would be particularly valuable before another major fixture.
For Elche, the challenge is finding the right balance between competing against Madrid’s attacking talent and imposing their own style. Anselmi has specifically argued that keeping possession can be the best form of defense against Real Madrid, emphasizing the need for patience and control rather than simply allowing the visitors to dictate the match.
