Martínez Valero Stadium will be the stage for a crucial clash tomorrow at 12:00, when Elche host Atlético de Madrid on Matchday 33 of LALIGA.

Team news
Elche, currently in 18th place with 32 points, come into the match motivated after a 1-0 win over Valencia. However, their inconsistency is a concern, having conceded 8 goals in their most recent matches. Atlético de Madrid, meanwhile, are fourth with 57 points and need to bounce back after a 1-2 defeat to Sevilla. Diego “Cholo” Simeone’s side must tighten up defensively, as they have conceded 9 goals in their last four outings.
