Preview and odds analysis for Elche vs Real Madrid at 03:00 on November 24, 2025, La Liga 2025/26

Real Madrid is showing overwhelming strength as league leaders with an excellent away record this season (13 points from 6 matches). Despite a 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano and a 0-1 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League, they remain the top contenders for the title.

Historically, Real Madrid has dominated the head-to-head with 35 wins in 53 meetings. In their most recent encounter in February 2023, Real Madrid won decisively 4-0. Elche has not beaten Real Madrid since 1978.

With home advantage and confidence from a good start to the season, Elche will challenge Real Madrid. However, the superior squad depth and the class of stars like Kylian Mbappe (13 La Liga goals) make Real Madrid the favorites. The match is expected to feature at least 3 goals, with the away side likely to cover the handicap.
