Sociedad have bounced back from a poor start to the season, showing improvement and stability in their most recent games. In contrast, Elche’s defense has been unreliable, leaving gaps that Sociedad can take advantage of. The recommendation is to back Sociedad on Monday, as their regained form and Elche’s defensive woes suggest a likely win for the San Sebastian side.

Real Sociedad stepped up their game in the last ten days and grabbed four points from last two games. I like their chances of beating struggling Elche on Monday. 

Key Stats  


  • Elche have lost their last 2 matches. 
  • Real Sociedad have won 7 of their last 8 matches against Elche. 

Real Sociedad Lead Head to Head 


This is going to be the 50th time these two sides lock horns and Real Sociedad have a 27-12 advantage when it comes to victories. 

Elche Struggling Defensively 


Elche started the new La Liga season with a 1-1 draw against recently promoted Deportivo La Coruna at Riazor where Marc Aguado saved them with a late equalizer. 

They had a couple of solid chances to score a consolation goal in the follow up clash against Barcelona which was lost convincingly 5-0 (allowed 4.38xG and nine goal chances to the opposition). 

Last weekend, Elche had an awful first half in Santander against Racing, conceding three unanswered goals. They almost recovered in the second half, losing 3-2. 

Visitors Started Collecting Points 


Real Sociedad have struggled in the La Liga opening month, claiming just four points from four matches and currently sit in 11th place. 

They were unlucky in the first round against Real Betis, losing 1-0 in Sevilla where Orri Oskarsson missed two big chances, while standing no chance in the second match against Real Madrid, losing 4-1 at Bernabeu. 

Real Sociedad claimed their first victory last weekend, beating Espanyol 2-1 at home. Orri Oskarsson and Ander Barranetxea appeared on the scoresheet while Mikel Oyarzabal provided both assists.   

The White and Blues were more dangerous side in mid-week clash against Celta Vigo at home but had to settle for a goalless draw. They had 1.04-0.43 xG and 5-2 shots on target. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Elche (5-3-2) Matias Dituro; German Valera, Victor Chust, Pedro Bigas, Buba Sangare, Alvaro Nunez; Javi Morcillo, Marc Aguado, Gonzalo Villar; Facundo Buonanotte, Andre Silva

Yago Santiago, A. El Mokhtari, and Thomas Lemar remain out injured, while Fer Nino and Adam Boayar are major doubts for the home side.

Real Sociedad (4-4-2) Alex Remiro; Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Jon Martin, Sergio Gomez; Takefusa Kubo, Benat Turrientes, Yangel Herrera, Luka Sucic; Orri Oskarsson, Mikel Oyarzabal

Real Sociedad are travelling without long-term absentee Alvaro Odriozola alongside Ander Barrenetxea, Pablo Marin, and Jon Pacheco.

Verdict

Sociedad recovered from initial defeats and stabilized in their last two games. Elche's back line has been a mess so far and I expect the San Sebastian side to exploit that on Monday.
