Real Sociedad host Elche at the Anoeta in La Liga on Saturday, looking to end their six-game winless run in all competitions.
After beating Espanyol 3-2 in the league last month, La Real have gone off the boil, failing to win their next four top-flight matches and both their UEFA Europa League games.
AS Roma beat them 2-0 in the Italian capital in the Europa League first leg before the sides played out a 0-0 draw in the return, eliminating the side from the competition in the round of 16.
Their patchy form in the top flight has seen them drop to fourth position in the table with 45 points from 25 games, but they have an opportunity to put an end to their misery against the bottom dwellers.
With just two wins all season, Elche are 20th in the league standings with just 13 points in the bag, 12 adrift of safety as relegation to the Segunda Division becomes increasingly likely with each passing week.
Los Franjiverdes have avoided a loss in their last two games after three defeats in a row, and must continue to pick up points if they are to save themselves.
