Real Sociedad - Elche betting tips and odds

Real Sociedad should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Sunday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.40.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Team from San Sebastian and the fact that Elche are given 9.50 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Despite high expectations and a small lead at halftime, Real Sociedad ended up tying with Mallorca in the previous round. A draw in an away game is not strictly terrible news, but it’s hard to not feel like they missed an opportunity there.

Although Elche were the home team in their previous La Liga match, bookmakers online predicted that they will lose to Real Valladolid. After a rocky first half, however, they managed to equalize and end the match on a 1:1 draw.

Elche can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Among the best-placed teams in the season so far, the home team should be able to earn points here. They’ll need another 20 points in total to reach the table leaders, though.

The away team are struggling to get out of the relegation zone while they still have time to earn some points. After all, they’re not very likely to win any in round 26 because of the severely unfavourable matchup.

Sociedad already won against Elche this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Elustondo, Martín Merquelanz, Umar Sadiq will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.9.
