Real Sociedad – Cadiz

Real Sociedad will not defeat Cadiz

Real Sociedad will take home Cadiz in the match of the 29th round of the Spanish championship. Both clubs are highly motivated. The Basques need to brighten up an ambiguous season by qualifying for the European Cup, while Cadiz have survival on their agenda. Real Sociedad are in a severe crisis in 2024. The team produced the worst goalless streak in almost 80 years, fell out of the Champions League and the King's Cup. If the failure in the European Cup against PSG was predictable, the defeat to Mallorca in the domestic tournament is a very big disappointment. In recent matches, Real Sociedad at least began to hit other people's gates. The goal-scoring streak lasts for six games, but it is paired with only two wins. Basques in the last round made a very emotional success in the confrontation with Granada. They managed to defeat the outsider, thanks to two goals in the end of the second half. Another issue is that Granada is a hopeless opponent from the basement of the table, and Real Sociedad even with him managed to get problems. Imanol Alguacil's main headache right now has to do with Takefusa Kubo. The Japanese is the best player of the team. The participation of the player in the next match is not ruled out, but officially he is still on the list for injured players. The management of Cadiz closer to the end of the season still decided on a mini-revolution. Mauricio Pellegrino was urgently appointed. The experienced mentor was able to make significant progress in a very short period of time. The hope for salvation is still alive. In the last three matches, the seemingly hopeless team has picked up five points. The victory over Atletico stands out. Cadiz defeated the European grandee on their own field, showing quality football. The hosts created as many chances as their opponents. Cadiz now plays a fairly simple 4-4-2 formation with an emphasis on defence. At the same time, the team's performance has increased significantly. The outsider has scored five goals in three games at once - such a stretch in the current championship has never been seen before. Real Sociedad and Cadiz in the last three head-to-head matches have scored one goal apiece. If we take the distance of five games, there was only one match on the total more. It is doubtful that now the Basques will easily overcome the dense defence of the opponent, and bookmakers give a fairly low odds on the victory of Sociedad. The Basques have not won confidently for a very long time. In the last ten meetings managed to take maximum points only against Mallorca and Granada, but both times the victories were willful with nervousness in the end.
