🚨Line-ups confirmed: Real Sociedad and Elche kick off matchday 12 | OneFootball

Elche CF hosts Real Sociedad today at the Martínez Valero Stadium, in a crucial match that opens Matchday 12 of La Liga, with both teams looking to climb up the middle of the table.

Elche (9th with 14 points) is looking to assert its strength at home, as they have yet to lose at home this season. The Ilicitano team is counting on their solidity at the Martínez Valero to secure a victory that would allow them to surpass several rivals in the standings.

For their part, Real Sociedad (14th with 12 points) arrives needing to turn around their inconsistent league form. Despite a recent run of three consecutive wins, the Donostia side has struggled on the road, losing six of their last eight away matches. Nevertheless, recent history favors Real Sociedad.

A very tactical and low-scoring match is expected, as both teams have finished most of their games with tight scorelines. The key will be whether Elche can maintain their unbeaten home record against a high-caliber opponent.
