Odds: Sociedad (1/2) Draw (3/1) Elche (6/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Sociedad 2:1 Elche
Real Sociedad finished 4th in the Spanish Primera last season with 66 points – they scored 70 goals in 38 games and conceded 49. Elche won the Spanish Segunda division last season and were promoted to the Spanish Primera. They scored 54 goals and conceded 27 (best defensive record in the Segunda division). Elche made a relatively good start to life in the Spanish Primera and although they have won just 1 of their last 7, they conceded just 7 goals and 4 of those were against Barcelona so they are in with a good chance if they are able to defend as well against Sociedad. Elche are one of the lowest scoring teams in the Spanish Primera (scored 19 in 20 games) compared with Sociedad who have scored double (scored 38 goals in 20 games). Real Sociedad should have enough quality and enough experience to overcome Elche however odds of 1/2 offer little value for punters.
