Elche vs Real Sociedad Predictions, Lineups and Betting Predictions

Match Details: November 7 2025 | Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero | La Liga | 20:00 GMT

Elche are looking to put an end to a barren run of form as they reached four games without a victory after defeat to Barcelona on Sunday, and a win would help them climb to seventh place in La Liga, just one point off a European position. Real Sociedad on the other hand have been in superb form recently, winning their past three games, two in the league and one in the Copa Del Ray, as they aim to continue their run of wins and rectify what's been a relatively poor start to the season for a club of their stature.

Key Betting Tip: Both teams to score at 1.83 odds represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.

Elche vs Real Sociedad Recent Form

Elche have had a relatively solid start to the season with their main aim to stay in the divison and solidify their La Liga presence after being promoted this season, but have hit a roadblock in recent times, with no wins in four league games. They did however lose to Barcelona but scored in that game, so there are definitely positives to take for Eder Sarabia's side. Elche still remain unbeaten at home in the five games they've played at their fortress, alongside the likes of Real Madrid, Villareal, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

Real Sociedad on the other hand are a team that consistently finishes in a European spot and competes at the top end of the table, but fell away last season, finishing 11th on 46 points which came as quite the shock for fans. This season, things haven't got better, as they stand in 14th place and three points off the relegation spots, but with their recent good spell of form, it might not take long for Txuri-Urdin to climb back up to where they belong.

Last time out was all the way back in March of 2023, where Real Sociedad hosted Elche and defeated them by two goals to nil. In fact, Sociedad have won all of the previous six meetings with Elche, so fate could be on their side as they desperately need to keep their good form up.

Elche Recent Matches:

• Barcelona 3-1 Elche (A) La Liga
• Los Garres 0-4 Elche (A) Copa Del Ray
• Espanyol 1-0 Elche (A) La Liga
• Elche 0-0 Athletic Bilbao (H) La Liga
• Deportivo Alaves 3-1 Elche (A) La Liga

Elche had a phenomenal start to the campaign, going unbeaten in their first seven matches, and winning three of them, against Levante, Real Oviedo and Celta Vigo. However they have since lost three of the last four league games, and would not hope to lose another and fall away from a good position in the top half. An injury to Pedro Bigas could be a dagger in the heart for Elche fans, as he's ben a key player in their success so far, as he is doubtful to start after picking up a muscle injury during the Barcelona encounter.

Real Sociedad Recent Matches

• Real Sociedad 3-2 Athletic Bilbao (H) La Liga
• Negreira 0-3 Real Sociedad (A) Copa Del Ray
• Real Sociedad 2-1 Sevilla (H) La Liga
• Celta Vigo 1-1 Real Sociedad (A) La Liga
• Real Sociedad 0-1 Rayo Vallecano (H) La Liga

Real Sociedad have really bounced back and found their flow in recent games, scoring nine goals in their past four matches and collecting three wins, after a very poor start to the season, losing to Real Oviedo, Real Madrid and Real Betis on the spin. Players like Oyarzabal, Mendez and Barrenetxea will be key for Sociedad in this matchup, alongside former Manchester City player Sergio Gomez at fullback, with a strong side hoping to back-to-back-to-back wins in the league for the first time since March 2024.

Elche vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Football Park's Best Bet: Both Teams to Score @ 1.83 - Our team of in-house experts has priced both teams to score as the best bet, as Real Sociedad have been racking up the goals recently, and Elche are unbeaten at home, so they will produce strong firepower to catch out the opposition and keep their unbeaten streak alive. Elche have also scored in nine out of 11 games this season, with both teams scoring in seven of those, and Sociedad have also scored in nine out of 11 games this season, with both teams scoring in eight of those.

Key Players to Watch

Andre Silva - In just seven starts in the league this season, Andre Silva has managed to score four goals for Elche, averaging nearly three shots per 90, and outscoring his expected goals metric. An experienced striker across different leagues and a clinical finisher is what Elche need to secure the three points on Friday, and look no further than Andre Silva, who can produce goals out of thin air.

Mikel Oyarzabel - Real Sociedad's captain and tallisman is exceeding expectations once again this season, scoring four goals and assisting twice in 11 games, and has scored twice and assisted once in his past two La Liga matches, both resulting in a win by one goal for Real Sociedad. The number 10 has been a loyal servant to the club, coming up from the B team in 2015 and producing phenomenal displays in several seasons not just for club but for country, as he has scored three and assisted three in just four games for Spain in the World Cup Qualifications. He is the one to watch in our eyes and could change the game.
