Real Sociedad just keep defying the odds amid their mountain of injury problems. La Real now have nine first-team injuries, but they are still unbeaten since their opening day defeat to Barcelona. Last time out, a brace from Aritz Elustondo and a Mikel Merino goal saw Real Sociedad take all three points against Granada, winning 3-2 away from home following an impressive away draw with Sevilla. Elche, meanwhile, were particularly poor last time out, losing 4-1 to Villarreal away from home. Johan Mojica did score a stunner to level the scores after Fran Escriba's men had gone behind, but they were poor from there, making a number of errors and inviting the home side to pull off a comfortable win. That was Elche's first defeat of the season, and after six games, they would have taken that if offered ahead of the campaign. It has been a fine start to the season, and they will be looking to return to their usual hard-to-beat selves here. Elche do have every chance of taking a point, and they might just do so given La Real's injury troubles and the quick pile-up of games.
