Elche, currently second in Liga 2, continues to post good results, confirming its desire to return to the elite this season. The team led by Eder Sarabia has been undefeated since the beginning of November. In the Copa del Rey, the Castilians beat Elcano in the 32nd final thanks to a decisive goal from Plano then crushed Las Palmas in the next round.
Atlético, for its part, wants to continue its quiet march in the Spanish Cup, having passed the three previous rounds without difficulty. All the matches were played away against opponents from the lower divisions, and the Madrilenians were able to impose their superiority.
This weekend, Atlético beat Osasuna in the league, marking their fourteenth consecutive victory in all categories, their eighth in La Liga, enough to take them to first place in the standings.
The Copa del Rey match between Elche and Atlético de Madrid will take place on Wednesday January 15 at 9:30 p.m. You will be able to follow this meeting live on L’Équipe live.
