**Elche's basement battle gets a visit from a wounded Real Sociedad** — both teams are barely treading water, but one has to start climbing. 🔴⚪
Elche's mixed start (1W-2D-2L) includes that brutal 5-0 hammering at home to Barcelona, while Sociedad's collapse in San Sebastián has been even grimmer — they've won just once in five and got dismantled 4-1 by Real Madrid. Real Sociedad's history in this fixture is stellar (20 wins in 34 meetings), but injuries and form have them vulnerable.
Key storylines:
- **Real Sociedad** arrive as heavy favorites on paper, but missing Á. Odriozola, A. Barrenetxea, and J. Gorrotxategi leaves their squad stretched thin 🩹
- **Elche's defensive block** — led by P. Bigas and V. Chust — could frustrate a Sociedad side lacking offensive rhythm
- **O. S. Óskarsson** and T. Kubo will carry the creative load for the visitors; **F. Redondo** anchors Elche's press
Expected lineups:
- **Elche**: M. Dituro, V. Chust, P. Bigas, D. Affengruber, T. Morente, B. Sangaré, G. Villar, G. Valera, F. Redondo, M. Aguado, E. Ponce
- **Real Sociedad**: Á. Remiro, S. Gómez, J. Martin, I. Zubeldia, J. Aramburu, Y. Herrera, B. Turrientes, A. Marchal, L. Sučić, T. Kubo, O. S. Óskarsson
Prediction:
**Real Sociedad 1-1 Elche**. Sociedad's class should show, but Elche's grit at home keeps it tight. Real Sociedad edge it on the quality flip.
Nothing reached 80% confidence before kick-off, so we stayed quiet rather than guess. Most matches end up here — that is what keeps the published calls at 86.7%.
