I went and looked at fading Atletico Madrid on Saturday after that gut-punch loss to Arsenal in the UCL semis, but Atleti is home against a lesser foe, so I can't pull that trigger. That's what got me to the La Liga menu in the first place. And then saw this and I'm like yep. These two are fighting not to be relegated, so not a lack of motivation (unlike Atleti). Elche did lose the reverse fixture 3-1 on the road back in October -- scoreless entering the 75th minute -- but has been one of the better home teams in the league (31 points in 17 matches). Alaves has three road wins all season.
