Real Sociedad are back in action with another La Liga match this weekend as they lock horns with Elche at the Reale Arena on Sunday. Real Sociedad have impressive players in their ranks and hold the upper hand going into this match.

Elche are in 15th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The away side suffered a 4-1 defeat against Villarreal last week and will need to bounce back in this game.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, have recovered after a poor start to their La Liga campaign and are in third place in the league table. La Real edged Granada to a 3-2 victory in their previous game and will want a similar result in this fixture.


Real Sociedad vs Elche Head-to-Head

Real Sociedad have an impressive record against Elche and have won six out of 12 matches played between the two teams. Elche have managed only three victories against Real Sociedad and will need to be at their best on Sunday.

The previous meeting between the two teams took place in May this year and ended in a 2-0 victory for Real Sociedad. Elche struggled on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.
