Israeli Soccer Player Roy Revivo Starts for Elche Against Real Madrid

Israeli defender Roy Revivo is set to make his third appearance in Spain's La Liga, starting for Elche against Real Madrid on Tuesday evening. Revivo will be tasked with marking Real Madrid's Arda Güler, who returns to the starting lineup alongside Jan Diumande. Elche, currently second to last in the league standings with only two points from five games, is still seeking its first win of the season. The team is buoyed by a recent 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao but faces a historically challenging opponent, having not defeated Real Madrid since March 1978.

In another match, Valencia, struggling at the bottom of the table after a winless start to the season, will play Alavés. Valencia recently fired coach Carlos Corberán and has appointed Oscar Sánchez, the reserve team coach, as interim manager. The team aims to end a winless streak against Alavés, a club they haven't beaten at home in nearly nine years. Valencia also faces a lengthy injury list, including defender Mouctar Diakhaby.

Alavés, meanwhile, has a perfect home record this season and will rely on forwards Lucas Boyé and Mariano Díaz. The article also notes a previous result where Rayo Vallecano defeated Espanyol 2-1, with goals from Álvaro García and Adriá Pedrosa for Rayo, and Roberto Fernández for Espanyol. A partial league table is provided, showing Barcelona leading with 15 points, followed by Betis and Real Madrid with 12 points each.
