Elche vs Real Madrid: Head-to-Head Record and Results

Latest meeting: Elche 2-3 Real Madrid, 15 September 2026 (BBC Sport match report) · Previous LaLiga meeting: Real Madrid 4-1 Elche, 14 March 2026 (LaLiga official match centre) · Earlier draw: Elche 2-2 Real Madrid, 23 November 2025 (LaLiga official match centre) · Elche wins on record: none (Footballant H2H database)

Three league meetings, and the cleanest numbers come from the LaLiga records and the BBC Sport report, so the table below starts there.

When was the last time Elche won against Real Madrid?

No source in the supplied evidence records an Elche win over Real Madrid. According to the Footballant H2H database, Real Madrid have 10 wins, 4 draws and 0 Elche wins across 14 meetings. Sofascore news preview adds that Real Madrid had gone 17 matches unbeaten against Elche in all competitions.

The most recent meeting went to Real Madrid. BBC Sport and Sofascore both record Elche 2-3 Real Madrid on 15 September 2026, so the honest answer to the headline question is that the evidence contains no Elche win.

Has Real Madrid lost 39-0?

• No source in the supplied evidence supports a 39-0 result, so the claim stays unverified until a Tier 1 or Tier 2 record confirms it.
• The largest margin across the three verified scorelines is three goals, from Real Madrid 4-1 Elche on 14 March 2026 (LaLiga official match centre).

The implication: a 39-goal margin would sit far outside every verified result, so readers should treat the premise as a rumour until an official record is cited.

Elche vs Real Madrid results and stats

Three league meetings, one pattern: Real Madrid won the two most recent, and the only draw came at Elche in November.

The 15 September result rests on two independent reports. BBC Sport and Sofascore agree on the score, and Real Madrid led 2-0 at half-time, according to the same BBC Sport report.

The historical totals are a different matter. Factlen match centre counts three meetings since November 2025, with one draw and two Real Madrid wins. Statsbet match database, FootyStats H2H statistics and the Statsbet database each count 14 matches, with Real Madrid winning 11 and 3 draws, while the Footballant database counts 4 draws. The three Factlen meetings match the three LaLiga records verified here, so the gap appears to come from how far back each database counts.

• Possession: Elche 56%, Real Madrid 44%, according to Factlen match centre
• Shots: Elche 11, Real Madrid 20, according to Factlen match centre
• Passes: Elche 542, Real Madrid 430 (BBC Sport match report)
• Kylian Mbappé scored and assisted, earning an 8.6 Sofascore rating (Sofascore match page)

The implication: Elche had more of the ball and completed more passes, yet still lost by a goal, which points to finishing rather than control.

Real Madrid 4-1 Elche, 14 March 2026

• Final score: Real Madrid 4-1 Elche (LaLiga official match centre)
• Kickoff: Saturday 14 March 2026 at 20:00, with an attendance of 71,048 (LaLiga official match centre)
• Listed goals: Rüdiger 39′, Valverde 44′, Huijsen 66′, Güler 89′, and a Manuel Ángel own goal at 85′ (LaLiga official match centre)
• Five listed goals fit a 4-1 score only if the own goal counts for Elche, and the evidence does not say which team Manuel Ángel plays for, so the attribution stays open

Elche 2-2 Real Madrid, 23 November 2025

• Elche scorers: Febas 53′ and Álvaro 84′ (LaLiga official match centre)
• Real Madrid scorers: Huijsen 78′ and Bellingham 87′ (LaLiga official match centre)
• Kickoff: Sunday at 20:00, with an attendance of 31,024 (LaLiga official match centre)

Elche 2-3 Real Madrid, 15 September 2026

• Elche goals: Osorio 71′ and Fer Niño 83′ (BBC Sport match report)
• Real Madrid goals: Dituro own goal 25′, Mbappé 33′, and Carlos Espí 90’+1 (BBC Sport match report; Sofascore match page)
• Date flag: SportPremi prediction page lists Wednesday 16 September 2026, which no other source supports

What this means: the three verified scorelines are solid enough to publish as they stand, while the scorer attribution in March and the aggregator totals need the official record before they go further.

The implication: the historical totals, not the three scorelines, are where readers should slow down.

Is Elche FC a good team?

Elche’s form is the weakest part of the picture, and the standings disagree on how weak. The Yahoo Sports preview says Elche had 2 points and sat 19th before the 15 September fixture, after a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao. BBC Sport’s table reportedly places Elche 15th, while a Sofascore snapshot had them 18th.

Form tells a similar story. Sofascore’s preview counts Elche with 6 goals scored and 13 conceded in five LaLiga matches, against 14 scored and 4 conceded by Real Madrid over their first five.

Is Elche a big club?

• Elche CF is a LaLiga club based in Elche, Valencian Community, and plays at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero (LaLiga official match centre)
• The evidence measures results, standings and form, not club history, so a verdict on size would rest on opinion rather than data
• Real Madrid holds the head-to-head edge, with no Elche wins in the databases supplied (FootyStats H2H statistics)

What this means: Elche looks competitive on the scoreboard, but the standings and form data support only a description of where the club stood at each snapshot, not a verdict on whether it is good.

Elche vs Real Madrid prediction and lineups

Prediction pages give percentages, and the two that do so lean toward Real Madrid. Both are commercial sites, so their numbers describe the betting market more than the teams.

Prediction sources and their limits

• According to Sportytrader betting preview, the H2H summary gives Real Madrid a 67% win probability, a 33% draw and 0% for Elche, drawn from a small sample
• Average pre-match odds on the Footballant H2H database imply roughly 79% for Real Madrid, 13% for a draw and 8% for Elche, which makes Real Madrid the pre-match favourite
• According to the SportPremi prediction page, the two sides average 3.4 goals per match and the page predicts over 1.5 goals, but it dates the fixture inconsistently

Lineups and match preparation

• FotMob lists Elche in a 4-1-4-1, while BBC Sport lists a 4-5-1 (FotMob match page; BBC Sport match report)
• Real Madrid appear as 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 across the sources supplied (FotMob match page)
• BBC Sport lists Martín Anselmi as Elche’s coach for the 15 September 2026 match (BBC Sport match report)
• No official team sheet for the 15 September match appears in the evidence, so lineups stay provisional until official sheets are published

The pattern: both win-probability sources favour Real Madrid, and none of the lineup sources is an official team sheet, so the tactical detail stays provisional.

Elche vs Real Madrid highlights and live coverage

Live coverage and highlights depend on rights holders in each market, and the evidence names none of them. The reliable places to follow the match are the official records and established live pages.

Where to follow the match

• LaLiga’s official match centre carries the verified results for the November and March meetings (LaLiga official match centre)
• The BBC Sport live page logs the 15 September 2026 goals and match stats (BBC Sport live page)
• The Sofascore match page carries the final score and the winning goal scorer (Sofascore match page)

Where to find highlights

• Highlights should come from LaLiga’s official channels or a Tier 2 outlet, not from aggregator pages
• No highlight page appears in the evidence supplied, so this article links none

What this means: follow the scores on LaLiga’s match pages, and treat aggregator highlight pages as unverified until LaLiga or a named broadcaster confirms them.

Confirmed facts and what’s unclear

Confirmed facts

• Elche 2-2 Real Madrid, 23 November 2025 (LaLiga official match centre)
• Real Madrid 4-1 Elche, 14 March 2026, with an attendance of 71,048 (LaLiga official match centre)
• Elche 2-3 Real Madrid, 15 September 2026, with Dituro’s own goal at 25′ and Carlos Espí at 90’+1 (BBC Sport match report; Sofascore match page)

What’s unclear

• Head-to-head totals: 3 meetings in one database, 14 in others, with draws listed as 3 or 4 (Factlen match centre; Footballant H2H database)
• The own goal listed at 85′ on 14 March 2026 has no confirmed team attribution (LaLiga official match centre)
• Real Madrid’s head coach is José Mourinho in one source and Arbeloa in another (FotMob match page)
• Elche’s standing is 15th, 18th or 19th depending on the snapshot (BBC Sport match report; Yahoo Sports preview)
• The next meeting on 21 April 2027 comes from aggregators and has no LaLiga confirmation (SoccerStats247 H2H table)

The implication: the confirmed list is short, so any head-to-head total, standing or next-match date needs its named source and snapshot date before it appears in print.

Timeline

• 23 November 2025: Elche 2-2 Real Madrid at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, LaLiga Matchday 13 (LaLiga official match centre)
• 14 March 2026: Real Madrid 4-1 Elche at the Bernabéu, LaLiga Matchday 28 (LaLiga official match centre)
• 15 September 2026: Elche 2-3 Real Madrid, Matchday 6 (FotMob match page). Most aggregators list the kickoff at 19:30 UTC (Sofascore match page), and Footballant lists 20:30 UTC+1, which is the same instant.
• 21 April 2027: Next scheduled meeting at the Bernabéu, per SoccerStats247 H2H table, with kickoff listed at 15:00 by SoccerStats247 and as 03:00 PM UTC by Factlen match centre

The pattern: the two verified 2025/26 meetings sit about four months apart, while the 15 September fixture falls six months after the March meeting. Matchday 6 places it early in the 2026/27 campaign, so the season label in some listings does not fit.

What the published records say

No coach or player quote about these matches appears in the supplied evidence, so the blockquotes below carry the published match records instead, each tied to its publisher.

Elche 2-2 Real Madrid, Estadio Martínez Valero, 23 November 2025, attendance 31,024.

LaLiga official match centre

Real Madrid led 2-0 at half-time of the 15 September 2026 match.

BBC Sport match report

Elche 2-3 Real Madrid, with Carlos Espí scoring in the 90th+1 minute as the decisive late winner.

Sofascore match page

The implication: the published record carries these matches, so any quote added later should come with a named speaker and a date.

What the record means for readers

Real Madrid has won the two most recent meetings, and no source in this piece records an Elche win, so a headline promising one would contradict the record. The open questions are the historical totals, the attribution of the March own goal and the next fixture’s kickoff, and each depends on aggregators that do not agree. For readers who plan to follow the next meeting, the choice is clear: check the LaLiga match page once it lists a kickoff, or accept an aggregator time that the aggregators themselves cannot reconcile.
