Elche, one of the new teams of the Spanish La Liga this season, will host Real Sociedad at home.
Elche :
Elche finished 6th in the Spanish 2nd League last season. So they managed to participate in the lay off. Elche succeeded in eliminating Real Zaragoza in the playoffs, and in the final, Elche beat Girona 1-0 on the road and became the 3rd team to rise to La Liga. Completing the season in 6th place and promoting to La Liga is really an important achievement. During the transfer period, Elche, who strengthened his squad with names such as Raul Guti, Jeison Lucumi, Lucas Boye and Cifuentes, will host Real Sociedad in the first game of La Liga.
Real Sociedad :
Real Sociedad did not start the new season very well. The Basque team, which could not have the joy of victory yet while remaining 2 weeks behind in La Liga, returned from Valladolid with a 1-1 draw in the first week of the league. Last week, they had a goalless draw with Real Madrid in the home field. Although they didn’t win, they fought well against the last champion and managed to get 1 point. The injuries of Nacho Monreal, Willian Jose and Luca Sangalli continue at Real Sociedad, which will be the guest of the league’s new team Elche this week.
I think it is time for Real Sociedad to win. They closed the first 2 weeks with a draw, but this time they won on the road to Elche and got the first victory of the season.
PREDICTION: Real Sociedad to win @ 1,95
