Real Sociedad – Elche

Real Sociedad host a struggling Elche side in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower half of the table. The Basque club sit 12th with seven points from six games, having secured two wins and a draw but also losing three, and they boast a modest +5 goal difference (six scored, eleven conceded). Elche, languishing in 19th place, have managed just two points from five matches, failing to win any games and sitting on a –7 goal deficit after netting six and allowing thirteen. With Sociedad looking to climb back into the top half and Elche desperate for their first victory, the encounter could prove pivotal for both campaigns.
