Atletico Madrid v Elche, the La Liga 15th round tie, is scheduled for Thursday 29 December at 10.30pm at the Wanda Metropolitano and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1, Orange Sport 1 and Prima Sport. 1.
La Liga resumes in the final week of 2022 after a break caused by the World Cup in Qatar, and the match between Atletico Madrid and Elche is one of the highlights of the 15th round.
Atletico Madrid have disappointed this season and are only 5th in the table with 24 points from 14 rounds and resume the championship after a run of five matches in which they have won just one.
Moreover, Diego Simeone’s team lost their last league match 0-1 against Mallorca (d) and in the middle of last week they had an emotion with Arenteiro (third league), which they beat 3-1 ( d), after leading in the second round of the Spanish Cup.
Diego Simeone, having suffered his weakest season since taking charge of the team (11 years ago), could part ways with Atletico Madrid in the summer, with the Spanish press suggesting that the Argentine could be replaced by German Thomas Tuchel, who was last at Chelsea, after as he spent time at Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.
Elche are 20th, bottom of La Liga, with just four points from 14 matches without a win, and return to the competition after a five-game run in which they managed only a draw.
Pablo Machin’s side beat third-tier side Guadalajara (D) 3-0 in the second round of the Copa del Rey last week.
Elche are in their third consecutive season in La Liga after five years in the second and even third leagues (2017-2018 season), but it’s hard to believe that at the end of the current season, in which they have the weakest defense in the league, conceding 31 goals , can still avoid relegation.
Atlético Madrid have won their last 10 matches against Elche in La Liga and last season won 1-0 in the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano and 2-0 in the second leg at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero.
