Under 2.5 goals at Real Sociedad vs Elche 5/6 for Friday’s La Liga matchup

Posted May 6th, 2021 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: La Liga

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 5/6 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the La Liga table, Real Sociedad will host Elche in what could be another low-scoring contest on Friday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Real Sociedad might still have their sights set on clinching a European spot for next season, they have shown a string of inconsistencies over the past two months. In their 34 La Liga matchups so far this year, they have recorded 14 wins, 11 draws and nine defeats, scoring 51 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 53, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the table and holding a commanding eight-point buffer from freefalling out of the European spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a stunning 1-0 loss against relegation scrappers Huesca, Real Sociedad have managed to win just a pair of their last eight La Liga contests. It should also be noted that Friday’s hosts have seen their back-to-back contests finish with under 1.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, also slumping back to losing ways last time out, Elche still find themselves firmly at the heart of a relegation battle with time ticking away. In their 34 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded just six wins, 12 draws and 16 defeats, scoring 29 and conceding 50 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 30, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 19th and still a single point adrift from skyrocketing their way out the bottom-three. As for their recent run of results, last seen suffering a 1-0 defeat against title contenders Atletico Madrid, Elche have collected just a single La Liga victory from their previous nine attempts. It should be highlighted, showing some issues in the final third and with each of their last four matchups finishing with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome on Friday night.
