THE PREDICTION
This is a clash of this season’s proverbial surprise packages and involves the most southerly and northerly sides in this season’s La Liga. Newly-promoted Cadiz have excelled this season with 14 points and standout victories over Real Madrid and Athletic Club mean they sit 6th in La Liga. They were automatically promoted from the Segunda Division despite just two wins in their last nine and losing their last three matches. Efficient and early business, including the signing of former Manchester City striker Alvaro Negredo, allowed them to build and plan ahead of the new season. This detailed planning has been evident as Cadiz have maintained their rough and rugged style. Despite promotion, Cadiz didn’t manage to win a game by more than two goals in 2019/20 and that pragmatic approach has continued into this season with only heavy defeats to Sevilla and Atletico distorting their defensive record. In the other seven games, only ten goals have been scored in total. In contrast, Real Sociedad have been joyous to watch. Prior to lockdown last season, they were nailed on for Champions League qualification before falling away in the summer months. However, this fast start looks to have even more substance to it with more goal scoring options and a tighter defence. David Silva alongside arguably the league’s player of the season so far in Mikel Oyarzabal as well as Portu, Willian Jose and Alexander Isak means that La Real are always threatening. The contrast in styles could lead to a one-sided match in terms of possession and territory but Sociedad will believe they also have enough to open up a Cadiz defence that conceded four last time out and will look to continue a five match winning streak that has seen them accumulate an aggregate score of 16-2.
