Real Sociedad-Cadice is a match valid for the 29th day of La Liga and is played on Friday at 9:30 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
Real Sociedad has restarted after four consecutive defeats between the league, Champions League and King’s Cup, which cost them two eliminations. The Basques were knocked out of the domestic cup by Mallorca, missing out on access to the final (they would have faced the “cousins” of Athletic Bilbao), while the exit from the cup with big ears hurt much less, considering that the opponent in question, in the round of 16, was the very ambitious PSG of Mbappé and Luis Enrique. And that the hopes of passing the round, even at the time of the draw, were derisory.
Imanol’s team, however, did not lose heart and a week ago came out on top against Granada at the end of a thrilling 3-2 win, complete with a comeback in the last 10 minutes. A test of character by a group that still has something to say in this La Liga despite the huge points gap (10) that separates it from fifth in the standings, Bilbao. Getting back into the Champions League, then, will be very difficult, almost impossible, but now the goal is to finish at least sixth in order to be able to detach a pass for one of the Europa or Conference League. To achieve this, Real Sociedad will have to fend off any assaults from Betis and Valencia, the two fiercest direct competitors. The three points, in any case, are a must against the third-last in the class, Cadiz, fully involved in the fight not to relegate. The Andalusians, however, have no intention of raising the white flag, and they proved it over the last weekend, taking the scalp of “Cholo” Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, bent 2-0 at the Nuevo Mirandilla (Juanmi’s double). For the Yellowoblù it was the first league victory since last September.
The Prediction
Cadiz is on the upswing and will want to play their chances to the last. Ergo, it will not be a walk in the park for Real Sociedad, in any case favored for the three points. The total goals could be less than four.
