Atletico will look to get back to form as La Liga resumes, and this game offers them a chance to show they are serious about getting inside the top four.
They went into the World Cup break fifth on the league table and will want to improve their performances to show they have what it takes to challenge the top guys in La Liga this season.
They won their last three games, which included a friendly match and will want to show they mean business by securing all three points when Elche visits them in this game.
Elche won their last competitive game, but it was against a lowly opponent in the Spanish cup, and they lost their two friendlies before that fixture.
This game will be much tougher and they will need to be in their best shape to get anything from it at the end of 90 minutes.
Atleti has won all their last five matches against Elche and will be confident of earning another three points in this game.
The best bet prediction for this match is home win and over 1.5 goals. For similar prediction, click here.
