Real Sociedad vs Elche Match Preview

Real Sociedad start the game after registering narrow wins over Celta Vigo and Eibar but failed to capitalize on the positive momentum as they saw their last outing ending in a 1-0 loss over SD Huesca. The hosts have 53 points against their name and will head into the game looking to solidify their position as the fifth-ranked team in the LaLiga 20-21 season. 

Elche on the other hand are struggling in the domestic league with the visitors finding themselves slotted in the 19th position on the LaLiga standings. They have recorded just six wins this season while playing out 12 wins and 16 losses so far in the ongoing campaign. With 30 points from 34 games, Elche are currently on par with 18th ranked SD Huesca and will look to pocket three points on Friday which will propel them out of the drop zone. However, the visitors face a tough task at hand and will have to play their best football if they wish to snatch away three points from Real Sociedad.
