• Fixture: Elche vs Real Sociedad

• Date: Friday, 07 November 2025

• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT

• Venue: Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero

Elche's recent form suggests a team struggling to find the net, with only one win in their last five games. Their home advantage could be crucial, especially after securing a 2-1 victory against Celta de Vigo. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, have shown resilience, winning two of their last five matches, including a thrilling 3-2 victory over Athletic Club. The visitors' ability to score and their recent away draw against Celta de Vigo indicate they could pose a significant threat to Elche's defense.

The match is likely to be tight, with Elche aiming to capitalise on their home form and Real Sociedad looking to exploit their attacking prowess. Elche's defensive solidity, as seen in their draws against Athletic Club and Osasuna, might be tested by Real Sociedad's dynamic forwards. Expect a closely contested game where both teams will have moments, but Real Sociedad's recent performances suggest they might edge it.

Elche's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches. Their ability to secure a draw against strong teams like Athletic Club and Osasuna at home shows they can be defensively solid, but their offensive struggles are evident, having scored only three goals in those games.

This could impact their performance against Real Sociedad, as they will need to find a way to break down a team that has shown they can score in recent matches.
