They were one of La Liga&rsquo;s busiest clubs in the summer market, strengthening with the arrival of Alex Baena and adding depth across the squad. With the pressure already on, a strong response will be demanded at home this weekend.<\/p><p>Atletico enjoyed success against Elche last season in the Copa del Rey, running out 4-0 winners, but will be wary given Elche&rsquo;s surprise 1-0 victory in their last La Liga meeting back in May 2023. Historically, Atletico have dominated this fixture, winning 34 of 57 meetings.<\/p><p>For Elche, the draw with Betis was a positive start on their return to the top flight following a second-place finish in last season&rsquo;s Segunda Division. Eder Sarabia&rsquo;s side fought back from a goal down, with German Valera equalising late on. Their summer business has been ambitious, headlined by the signing of Federico Redondo from Inter Miami, alongside experienced forwards Andre Silva and Alvaro Rodriguez.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atletico Madrid vs Elche Over\/Under Predictions<\/h2><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Atletico Madrid vs Elche Under 2.5 Goals @ -102 as per BetMGM<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>The recent form of both these teams points to a low total.
