Elche vs Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad are aiming to maintain their recent resurgence when they travel to Elche for a Friday night Spanish La Liga fixture.

The hosts are struggling at the moment, but have maintained a solid home record this season. However, they often find things difficult against the visitors, who will be keen to show their quality in this clash.

Elche News

Elche are in the middle of a rough patch at the moment and are winless in four of their last five matches. They have been beaten three times on this run and suffered a 3-1 defeat at Barcelona in their previous fixture.

Eder Sarabia's team are currently ninth in the table and will be keen to avoid slipping into the bottom half. The good news is that they are unbeaten at home this season, with three wins and two draws from five La Liga matches in front of their fans.

One of the issues for Elche is a lack of discipline at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven matches across all competitions. However, they often show some attacking quality at home, scoring in four of their last five home matches.

Real Sociedad News

Real Sociedad endured a difficult start to the season, failing to win their opening five La Liga matches. However, they have turned a corner in recent weeks, with four wins from their last five matches, including a 3-2 home victory over Athletic Bilbao last time out.

Although things appear to be going in the right direction, some road improvements are also needed as Real Sociedad are winless in their La Liga travels this season. However, they held out for a 1-1 draw at Celta Vigo in their previous La Liga away clash before easing to a 3-0 Copa Del Rey victory at Negreira.

Real Sociedad have won at least one half in their last five matches across all competitions, while scoring first in four of those fixtures. However, they are without a clean sheet in their last five La Liga away matches.

Head to Head

Real Sociedad have 10 wins and three draws, while Elche have earned just three victories in the last 16 matches. The visitors have also won the last three away meetings, including a 1-0 victory back in 2022.

Verdict

Elche v Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad will be counting on their superior record in this fixture while also looking to maintain their recent resurgence. Having won at least one half in their last five matches, a similar pattern could be considered here.

The hosts have also scored first in four of their last five matches and could be set for a repeat. With neither defence showing any kind of solidity lately, both teams could be back to score.
