Atletico Madrid will be looking to bounce back from last week's shock 2-1 defeat at Espanyol, when they host newly promoted Elche at the Metropolitano Stadium on Saturday evening. Atletico looked to be in control last weekend, thanks to a first half strike from Julian Alvarez. However, their performance tailed off significantly after the break, allowing Espanyol to completely turn the game on its head. Manager Diego Simeone will want an instant response from his side as they look to get their title challenge up and running.
Elche marked their return to the top flight with a creditable home draw against Real Betis, thanks to a late strike from new signing German Valera. Whilst Elche struggled to click in attack at times, it was an encouraging overall performance from Eder Sarabia's team, as they look to re-establish themselves in the top flight after a three year absence.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Elche Prediction
Atletico will be desperate to put on a show in front of their home fans, especially after last week's painful defeat to Espanyol. The good news for them is that Elche look like one of the weaker sides in La Liga this season, despite their solid draw on opening day. With the likes of Julian Alvarez, Antoine Griezmann and Giuliano Simeone in their attacking ranks, we are tipping Atletico to fill their boots on Saturday night en route to a routine victory. Our prediction for Atletico Madrid vs Elche is: Atletico to score over 3.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
