MATCH PREVIEW | ELCHE - ATLÉTICO DE MADRID

Atleti look to earn key LaLiga win at Elche

Our team faces Elche on Saturday at 4.15pm CET on the road as we aim to pick up three vital points in the race for LaLiga.

Five games and 15 points to go. That’s all that remains to be played in LaLiga as Atleti, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Sevilla fight to clinch the title. Our first step is Saturday’s must-win game at Elche, which is to kick off at 4.15pm CET.

Simeone’s men have so far picked up 73 points after 33 matches. Three of those points came in the reverse fixture against Elche, in which we won 3-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The hosts, on the other hand, earned all three points in their last game thanks to a 1-0 home win over Levante. The success means that Fran Escribá’s side are in 18th position as they battle to stay in the top flight of Spanish football. To do so, they rely on the goals from top scorer Boyé, who has so far scored six times in LaLiga.
