Factor clave

• Atlético Madrid are winless in their last four matches, with three consecutive league defeats entering this fixture
• Elche have won their last two home games and are in reasonable domestic form at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero
• Atlético have conceded multiple goals in three of their last four matches, suggesting defensive fragility
• Significant quality gap between the two clubs still favors Atlético despite their poor run
• No lineups available — any key Atlético absences could further shift the balance toward Elche
• Elche's likely deep-defensive, counter-attacking approach is well-suited to exploiting Atlético's current lack of confidence
