Elche vs Real Sociedad Prediction: the Basques Won't Lose, But May Not Win

Prediction for the Elche vs Real Sociedad La Liga match on August 27. Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

After losing away to Betis 0:3 in the first round, Francisco Rodriguez's team hosted Almeria. Elche managed to get their first points of the season, but only one, not the three that the team probably hoped for. In the first half, the opponents exchanged goals and failed to shoot more, 1:1. 

It is said that the management of Sociedad received an offer that is impossible to refuse - 70 million euros for Swedish forward Isak. At the time, the Basques bough him for around 10 million. Now Real Sociedad have a hole at the edge of the attack. Although, for the money received from the transfer, they can find a quality replacement.

The last match of Isak in a Real Sociedad shirt was a home meeting with Barcelona, where the Swede scored and the team lost 1:4. In the first round, Real Sociedad defeated Cadiz 1:0 on the road.

Real Sociedad won both matches against Elche last season. In general, they won 4 wins in a row in this confrontation. However, we should not count on the Basque success in the upcoming game. The club will need time to replace Alexander Isak, and in the upcoming matches Imanol Alguacil's team may well have problems in the offense. Fortunately Elche cannot take full advantage of this, so it seems that Sociedad will not lose anyway. Prediction: Real Sociedad will not lose in the under match.
