🚨Confirmed XIs: Mismatch as Real Sociedad take on Elche | OneFootball

The Reale Arena will bear witness this Saturday (21:00) to a clash of opposite realities. Real Sociedad arrives euphoric after securing their place in the Copa del Rey semifinals with an epic comeback against Alavés (2-3). Although Pellegrino Matarazzo is planning rotations with the cup tournament in mind, the txuri-urdines have not lost in the league since December and are seeking a victory that will put them right in the fight for Europe.

For their part, Eder Sarabia's Elche are going through their most delicate moment, sitting just two points above the relegation zone and still without an away win all season. The Ilicitanos welcome back Bigas and Febas, and also have the reinforcement of Gonzalo Villar, as they try to break their drought in San Sebastián.

With a history that heavily favors the home side, Elche will need to be at "200%" to stop a surging Real.
