In fact, Real Sociedad has done better the entire season and they are a much better team, so we expect them to get the win in this game, just like they did in four of the last five games against Elche.

Elche vs Real Sociedad – Team form, latest news, and potential lineups
We expect to see a very exciting duel between these two teams, so let's check both of them out in more detail now:
Elche
With eight rounds left in this La Liga season, Elche fans will likely have to worry until the very end. At the moment, the team is six points ahead of Mallorca, the first team in the relegation zone. However, Elche lost four of their last six games in the league and that may be a poor sign for the team's hopes of survival.
That being said, Antonio Barragan and Javier Pastore will be back in the team after serving their suspensions. However, Lucas Boye will likely miss the game with an injury.
Elche predicted lineup:
Badia – Barragan, Gonzalez, Bigas, Olaza – Morente, Marcone, Gumbau, Fidel – Milla, Ponce
Real Sociedad
Thanks to their recent run of four wins in the last six games in La Liga, Real Sociedad remains in pursuit of the Top 4 finish, although they are currently six points behind Sevilla, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid who are all tied in places two to four. At the very least, Real Sociedad has a good chance to secure a Top 6 finish like last season and a spot in Europa League.
However, the Basque team is struggling a bit with injuries since Nacho Monreal, Ander Barrenetxea, Carlos Fernandez, and Mikel Oyarzabal are all out of the upcoming game.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup:
Remiro – Gorosabel, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico – Zubimendi, Merino – Portu, D. Silva, Januzaj – Isak
