La Liga 2025-2026: Elche-Real Madrid, the probable formations

Elche-Real Madrid is the Sunday postponement of the thirteenth day of Spanish La Liga, scheduled for 9 p.m. The Blancos must respond to Barcelona, which winning Saturday hooked them at the top of the league standings.Xabi Alonso’s team is coming off a disappointing draw with Rayo Vallecano and hopes to get back on track immediately. Elche is an opponent not to be underestimated: it has not won in the league since late September, but at home it is still unbeaten with three wins and three draws in its six matches so far.

Real Madrid with Mbappé as central point, on the three-quarter will be Brahim Diaz, Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. In the midfield Xabi Alonso could rely on the Arda Guler-Camavinga duo.
