Real Sociedad hosts Elche in the Spanish La Liga, match counts for the 13th round.
Sociedad lost players like Griezmann or Bravo in the summer but still nobody expected them to be so poor … only 2 wins so far in 12 rounds, but what wins … 4-2 vs Real Madrid and 2-1 vs Atletico Madrid. Now with David Moyes in charge Sociedad hopes to reach their potential on a more consistent basis and started pretty good with a 0-0 draw at Deportivo. This will be the first match for Moyes at home and he will try to bring back the extraordinary force that Sociedad had on home court … usually one of the best teams in Spain at their own stadium. It has to be said that Sociedad has 4 points in the last 2 rounds, so looking much better since coach Elustondo left. For today Zurutuza, Inigo Martinez and Zaldua are not available for Real Sociedad.

Today’s visitors, Elche, did not lose a game in 3 rounds but they are still second to last in La Liga … on the 19th place with 10 points in 12 matches. Their 3 game undefeated run looks good on paper but they did not meet very good teams, are coming after 2 draws with Getafe and Cordoba … not exactly super impressive.
Manu Herrera will not play for Elche today, and Mundiagy and Aaron are questionable, it is expected they will not play or at least will not start the game.
Real Sociedad won 4-0 against Elche last season at home and even if Sociedad is not the same team, I bet they will get another win … maybe not 4-0, but it does not matter. Sociedad still has a lot of talent and with David Moyes for sure they will improve, the expectations are higher now. I see the hosts taking advantage from the fact that Elche has the worst defensive record in the league. Vela or Canales should be capable to break down that defense and create some big chances for Sociedad. My tip is Real Sociedad to win and I have very high confidence they will do the job. Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad – Elche 2-0.
