the initial situation
- For the last time in 2020: Real Madrid will play as a visitor with the promoted FC Elche on LaLiga matchday 16 (9:30 p.m. TOTAL REAL-Liveticker and on DAZN). The Whites enter the final game of the year with six wins in their last six competitive matches and can keep up with the Atlético leader with a three in Alicante province. With 23 points after 15 games, the Whites are tied on points with Diego Simeone’s squad, who, however, has played two fewer games and had to play at home against Getafe FC (7:45 p.m.). Zinédine Zidane and his men could also upset Barcelona’s arch rivals: Barça only played 1: 1 against Eibar on Tuesday night – Real would be ten points ahead of the Catalans with a win.
- After the 2014/15 season, FC Elche moved up to the First Division for the first time in the 2020/21 season. Arrived at the Spanish soccer club, the club from the metropolitan area of Valencia is fighting for relegation. After 13 matches played, the traditional club, founded in 1923, is ranked 17 in the table – Elche has been eight league games waiting for victory. The latest sense of accomplishment came on October 23 against Valencia (2-1), Elches’ only home win to date. To stand out a bit in the fight against the last three places in the table, it would be beneficial to win at least one point against the current Spanish champion. Jorge Almirón, the new and current coach of the club, will be absent on the bench: the Argentine has contracted the corona virus and is represented by his assistant Jesús Muñoz.

Personnel and prospect list
- In Zidane’s squad for the last game of the year there There are no surprises: Luka Modrić is back in shape and returns to the squad, in which only the new long-term patient will be missing: Rodrygo Goes will be out until March due to a thigh injury. “Of course,” Eden Hazard was also named, to which Zidane revealed at a press conference: “The plan is that you have a little time to play.“It doesn’t seem like enough for the starting eleven on Matchday 16, will he look different with Modrić? The Croatian could probably start over, so Federico Valverde would have to sit on the bench first. Otherwise, “Zizou” shouldn’t rotate much in Elche either. However, it is possible that Marco Asensio, who last started against Shakhtar (0-2) on December 1, is preferred to Lucas Vázquez for a change. There was a change in the match day: Isco Alarcón stayed in Madrid for a short time, he is expecting a child.

Jesus Muñoz (Co-coach FC Elche): “It would not be wise to talk about the weaknesses of a team as great as Real Madrid. They have a lot of quality, but why not believe in our opportunity?
