Elche vs Real Sociedad Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 7th November 2025

When Real Sociedad come to Estadio Martinez Valero for the LaLiga match this coming Friday, Elche will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Elche approach the next LaLiga round as number 9 in the table, having claimed 14 points this season so far. With 11 games behind them, Real Sociedad amassed 12 points, placing them as number 14 before their next fixture.

Although outsiders on Friday, Elche will be highly motivated to keep their current gap in the LaLiga table to visitors Real Sociedad. Simultaneously, the latter will not be short on motivation when trying to close the distance.

Elche are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 11 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.1 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 12 goals, or an average of 1.2 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to three clean sheets in this run.

Elche vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Elche Form

A single point is all Elche can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 0-0 draw with Athletic Club, before getting trounced 1-0 against Espanyol while Barcelona won 3-1. Elche won three of their previous six matches at Estadio Martinez Valero in the LaLiga. They drew three as well, but suffered no defeats, scoring seven goals to three against.

Elche have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the LaLiga this season.

Real Sociedad Form

Real Sociedad went unbeaten through their last three matches, which began with a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo. A 2-1 win against Sevilla followed, before they beat Athletic Club by 3-2. Real Sociedad didn't manage a single away win in their last six LaLiga matches, but managed two draws, while suffering four defeats. They conceded ten and scored four goals themselves.

Real Sociedad had their sights set on the LaLiga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Going forward, Elche and Real Sociedad are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net on Friday.

Elche scored eight goals and conceded four in their last six games against teams from the bottom half of the LaLiga table. They collected 12 points and three victories. Real Sociedad scored five goals and conceded ten in their last five encounters with teams in the top half of the LaLiga. This lead to zero wins and one points. Elche have a record of three wins, five draws and three defeats in the LaLiga this season. Real Sociedad have a record of three wins, three draws and five defeats in the LaLiga.
