Preview:

Elche will welcome Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey at Estadio Martinez Valero.

In their last match, they saw a 2-0 victory against Athletic Club in the Super Cup final match and will be aiming for a three-pointer match here. They are the best-attacking team in the league, having scored 45 goals in 21 matches. They have an edge in this clash.

Top picks:

Eden Hazard: Hazard could play a crucial role against Elche with his offensive contribution. He is having a tough time in Real Madrid but his command on the ball has improved a lot recently and looks very confident even under pressure. He is one of the key players for Real Madrid as he enjoys crossing the ball into the opponent’s box, gives key passes to teammates.

David Alaba: Alaba is one of the best players on the side who likes to dribble the ball and keep things tight in the field. His pace and trickery will be tough to handle for the opponents, and he will thrive in every situation. He passes the ball well and makes good tackles which could reward you good in the form of fantasy points. In the league, he has one goal and three assists so far.
