Elche take on the visitors Real Sociedad in the round 12 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, November 7th at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero (Elche).
Elche made a lively start after returning from Segunda. The “Green-and-Stripes” have been a yo-yo team in recent years, moving up to La Liga only to drop back down again soon after. Following their latest relegation, they spent some time in mid-table obscurity before making a bold and successful move last summer by appointing Eder Sarabia. Under his guidance, they immediately improved, finishing second in Segunda and earning direct promotion. Once back in the top flight, Elche began impressively — they went unbeaten in their first seven matches and even secured three consecutive home wins. However, their form dropped sharply afterward, suffering away defeats to Alaves and Espanyol, along with a disappointing home draw against an out-of-form Athletic. In their most recent game, they predictably fell 1-3 to Barcelona, managing only a consolation goal. Despite the recent setbacks, Elche have shown resilience and commitment in attack. Their defensive issues remain a concern, but the team’s energy and home support could still make them a difficult opponent for stronger sides.

Real Sociedad achieved notable success under Imanol Alguacil, from winning the Copa del Rey to reaching the Champions League knockout stages. However, the past two seasons were disappointing, marked by inconsistency and a steady decline in results. When the club slipped into the bottom half of the table last spring — finishing 11th with just 46 points — Alguacil was replaced. Instead of bringing in an outsider, Real Sociedad promoted Sergio Francisco from within their own structure. Early results were poor, with only one win and one draw by mid-autumn, but October finally brought a string of improved performances. In their latest Basque derby against Athletic, they extended their winning run with an exciting 3-2 victory, showing signs of renewed confidence. Real Sociedad seem to have rediscovered their attacking rhythm and team cohesion. If they maintain their recent momentum, they could soon return to the fight for European qualification.
A 2-0 win in March marked Real Sociedad’s sixth consecutive victory in this fixture. The visitors appear to have regained their form and will look to keep the winning run going. The bet here is on Real Sociedad with a (0) handicap, covering the draw for safety.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad to win with 0.0 handicap.
