Real Sociedad – Cadiz CF : Preview & Prediction
Real Sociedad will be looking to bounce back from their narrow 1-0 home defeat to Barcelona on 21 April. The Basque club suffered their first defeat in San Sebastian in La Liga since December 18. Real Sociedad, who beat Cadiz 4-1 at home last season, should logically take three more points from the first leg against the Andalusian club. The Basques, who last won on 10 April, have drawn twice with Sevilla (0-0) and Vallecano (1-1) before losing to Barcelona (0-1) and Levante (2-1) at the weekend. The visit of Cadiz comes at the right time for Real Sociedad to revive their fortunes and maintain their narrow 4-point lead over Athletic Bilbao, in 8th, and 3 points over Villarreal in 7th. Cadiz CF have won just once at Barcelona (0-1) in their last seven away games, losing 2-1 at Valencia in the Copa del Rey, 2-1 at Mallorca and 2-1 at Atletico Madrid. The current 16th in La Liga is under pressure as Mallorca, 18th and first relegation zone, is only 3 points behind. Cadiz have a complicated end to the season with a trip to Real Sociedad and the reception of Real Madrid the following day. The last day of the season will surely be the one to decide if they can stay in the top flight, with a trip to Alaves. Sergio’s protégés, since their defeat against Bilbao (2-3), have distanced themselves from the red zone thanks to 4 points gleaned during the last two games at Sevilla (1-1) and at Elche (3-0) on May 7th. The two performances have given the Andalusian club a temporary boost.
Real Sociedad are in 6th place and must secure their European qualification.
Cadiz, in 16th place, are under pressure and must fight to stay up.
Real Sociedad have not lost to Cadiz in nine meetings (six wins and three draws).
The Basque club won 2-0 in Andalusia.
Cadiz have won only once away from home in their last 7 away games, including the Copa del Rey and La Liga.
Real Sociedad should take a big step towards European qualification by beating lowly Cadiz CF, who could slip into the relegation zone.
