Cadiz v Real Sociedad

Cadiz v Real Sociedad Preview

Cadiz currently occupy 16th place in the La Liga standings but the hosts only possess a slender one-point cushion over the relegation zone ahead of Thursday night's encounter against sixth placed Real Sociedad as they have failed to win any of their last 13 matches overall while Real Sociedad bring an unbeaten run of five games into this clash at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla which includes picking up three wins in the process.

Cadiz started this La Liga campaign in bright enough fashion as the hosts registered two wins within their opening four games of the new term which came in the form of victories against Alaves and Villarreal but since mid-September, the hosts have failed to win any of their subsequent 13 games overall in the Spanish top flight which consists of seven draws and six defeats within this lean period.

Four of these six defeats were inflicted upon Cadiz away from home but although the hosts won two of their opening three games on home soil at their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, subsequent results have been disappointing and include losses at the hands of Girona and Real Madrid as well.

Five games without a win at home suggests this upcoming encounter on Thursday evening could potentially be another tough evening at the office for Sergio's side.

Real Sociedad maintained their quest for possible European contention for next season following a dour 0-0 draw at home with Real Betis on the weekend but nevertheless, this result served to extend the visitors' unbeaten run to five games and having also collected three wins within this recent period, Real Sociedad will be confident they can gain the upper hand over Cadiz on Thursday evening.

Victories against Almeria, Sevilla and Villarreal, two of which have been away from home, should give Real Sociedad plenty of confidence and belief that they can grab all three points at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla against a seemingly floundering Cadiz outfit.

Real Sociedad have been handed just the three defeats overall so far in this season's La Liga campaign which have been at the hands of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona but the bigger picture shows Real Sociedad have suffered just these three defeats out of their last 18 matches overall in the domestic top flight.

Having also lost just three of their previous 12 outings on the road as well, Real Sociedad will be in confident mood when they make their way to take on Cadiz on Thursday night.

Cadiz v Real Sociedad Verdict

Cadiz look to have their work cut out here despite holding supposed home advantage as the hosts have lost seven of the last eight meetings against Real Sociedad and indications suggest an away win here for the visitors.
