AI summary
Real Madrid visit Elche on Tuesday looking to improve on a fraught encounter from last season. The hosts led twice in a 2-2 draw in November, with Álvaro Rodríguez putting them ahead in the 84th minute, only for Bellingham to level two minutes later in a move that sparked fierce complaints from Elche's defence, who claimed Vinicius had fouled goalkeeper Peña beforehand.
Elche have not won at home against Madrid since the 1977-78 season, when they won 3-1. In eight meetings at the Martínez Valero since then, Madrid have won six and the sides have drawn twice.
