La Liga action returns for round two with Diego Simeone’s wounded Atlético Madrid facing newly-promoted Elche after a surprise opening round defeat. Elche won the most recent La Liga meeting between these sides in 2022/23, but Atlético have managed 24 H2H top-flight home matches without defeat, whilst Simeone has won all five of his La Liga home games against Elche. Five of Atlético’s last six matches in all competitions produced over 2.5 total goals.

Looking for an immediate bounceback after their first first top-flight matchday one defeat (2-1 to Espanyol) since the 2009/10 season, Simeone will know if his side are to keep pace with the two big-hitters in La Liga, they need maximum returns here. The veteran boss, now in his 15th consecutive season with the Madrid club – the fifth-longest stint of any manager in La Liga history – will also be looking to lean on his side’s brilliant end to their home campaign from last season, during which they scored 3+ goals as the victors in each of their last four La Liga home outings.

La Liga returnees Elche will need to make some history if they are to win this encounter as they strive to impress once again. A steely opening round 1-1 draw at home to UEFA Conference League finalists Real Betis was their sixth consecutive La Liga match without defeat (W2 D4), drawing attention to their potential in their first La Liga campaign since 2022/23. They still have plenty of work to do to exorcise the demons of failing to win their last six top-flight trips to teams from the Madrid community (D2 L4).

Atlético Madrid won only three of their last seven La Liga matches against newly promoted opposition (D2, L2). Four of Elche’s last five La Liga games ended in 1-1 draws. Elche scored in each of their last 14 competitive matches.

After striking in his side’s defeat, Julián Alvarez has scored three direct free-kick goals for Atléti in all competitions – no player in the top-five European leagues has scored more since the start of last season. Another goalscorer last matchday was Germán Valera, who became the fourth-youngest player to score on his La Liga debut for Elche this century.

Elche veteran forward Josan missed their opening match with a muscle injury, whilst Atléti will be waiting on the fitness of José María Giménez, who also missed out last time.
