A huge match involving teams at opposite ends of the La Liga standings takes place on Friday evening, as Real Sociedad bids to end a two-game winless run. Cadiz will be their opponents, who will be chasing a third win in four games to edge clear of the relegation places.
La Liga Preview
Real Sociedad remains in a Champions League spot after 23 rounds of fixtures in La Liga this term. However, their recent form has put additional pressure on the European hopefuls, as they have picked up just a single victory from their previous five matches in the league. Over the same period, Sociedad has suffered two defeats, including a 1-0 loss against Valencia in their previous fixture.
That defeat has seen their advantage over fifth-placed Real Betis drop to just three points, meaning that their spot in next season’s Champions League is far from assured. Sociedad would have been extremely disappointed with their performance against Valencia in their previous fixture, as they managed just three shots on target against the La Liga strugglers, despite boasting 63% of the possession.
Cadiz will be their opponents on Friday evening, and they are another side currently in the relegation battle at the bottom end of the La Liga standings. They have been in slightly better form than Sociedad over their previous five, as they have picked up three wins over that period. However, despite that winning form, they are just two points above the bottom three.
Cadiz picked up an important victory in their previous game, as they landed a 1-0 home victory against Rayo Vallecano. The only goal of the game was scored with just 15 minutes remaining, as Sergio Guardiola Navarro netted a crucial winner for the hosts.
Real Sociedad vs Cadiz Head to Head
Sociedad has picked up seven straight victories against Cadiz. Each of the previous five has come in La Liga fixtures, with Sociedad keeping clean sheets in the last three. The meeting between the sides earlier in the campaign ended in a 1-0 win on the road for Sociedad.
Real Sociedad vs Cadiz Prediction
Cadiz comes into this fixture in slightly better recent form than Sociedad. However, their overall record against their opponents this weekend is a concern. Therefore, we couldn’t be surprised to see a draw being played out on Friday. A 1-1 scoreline is our best bet.
