Elche vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Elche picked up their first point of the season in their previous outing against Almeria. It was their first home game of the season, and they put in a solid display.
Sociedad will likely be without Isak, who is close to joining Newcastle United. The loss of a reliable striker could be a blow for the White and Blues, but they should have enough firepower to eke out a narrow win.
