Midweek in Elche
The Rojiblancos are back in league action as they travel to the province of Alicante at 19:00 CEST on Wednesday.
Atleti return to LaLiga action at the Martínez Valero on Wednesday evening, following last weekend’s Copa del Rey final. Our men take on Elche at 19:00 CEST on matchday 33.
Simeone’s side go into it following that cup defeat to Real Sociedad on penalties. The game ended 2-2, with goals by Lookman and Julián Alvarez for the Rojiblancos. Now, they will try to get back to winning ways when they travel to Elche, where we last played in the round of 16 in last season’s Copa del Rey.
We won that game by four goals to nil, thanks to a Sørloth brace and goals by Riquelme and Julián. The reverse fixture against the Franjiverdes this season was a 1-1 draw at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on matchday 2 - Sørloth with the goal for the Rojiblancos. Atleti are currently in fourth position in the league on 57 points.
Elche, on the other hand, beat Valencia last time out thanks to Lucas Cepeda’s goal. The three points meant that Eder Sarabia’s men now have a total of 32, in 18th position.
