After a season start marked by two defeats against Betis and Real Madrid, Real Sociedad showed improvement in their next two matches; however, although they were slightly better than Celta Vigo, they could only manage a goalless draw. Now, for matchday five, the Basque side will travel to the Manuel Martínez Valero Stadium to face Elche.
This is a crucial test for Real Sociedad, the reigning Copa del Rey champions. In league fixtures, they have struggled to secure away wins; they are currently on an eight-game winless streak away from Anoeta in the league. Nevertheless, the odds at the sportsbooks remain even; they haven't underestimated the fact that Real Sociedad has won seven of their last eight matches against Elche.
In their only home game this season, Elche's defense looked like a sieve, conceding five goals to Barcelona. In their visit to newly promoted Racing, Elche conceded a hat-trick from Zabiri in just 36 minutes, before showing an improved performance in the second half that only served to reduce the deficit and ultimately lose 2-3.

Our Elche vs Real Sociedad Prediction
The Basque team's manager, Pellegrino Matarazzo, stated that Real Sociedad's balance and cohesion have improved week after week.
Meanwhile, Elche, with their disastrous defense, signed three new defenders just before the transfer window closed. Even so, the manager of the green-and-whites will have to integrate them on the fly in a league that has already started and, while they adapt, the team could have weaknesses that Real Sociedad could exploit.
Our prediction for Elche vs Real Sociedad is: Real Sociedad to win.
