Elche is in a tough run, with no wins in their last five games — mostly losses and a couple of draws. They have not been scoring many goals recently and have often been on the losing side. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, has been mostly solid, with only one loss in their last five, and they managed a big 4-3 win away from home. That suggests they are in better shape than Elche right now.

Looking at their past meetings, the games have often had goals, including a 3-1 win for Real Sociedad earlier this year and several matches with three or more goals. Since Real Sociedad is playing well and Elche is struggling, this match feels lopsided in favor of the away side. Real Sociedad should win this one.
