Likely Winner:

The ELC vs ATL Today Match Prediction will be a crucial one for both sides for different reasons. Atletico Madrid will be aware that they have been given a second chance by Granada and will look to get all 3 points against a poor Elche side. But the home team have a great chance to leave the relegation zone should they get even a point against the Los Rojiblancos. Atletico Madrid is the obvious favourites to win this game having won the most games in La Liga and having the tightest defence but Elche will go for broke.
