Cadiz vs Real Sociedad – Real Sociedad will start the season with the journey to Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla where they will take on Cadiz on Sunday afternoon.
The summer signing of Brais Mendez from Celta Vigo for €14 million has given the Basques a major boost as they prepare to begin the new La Liga season.
They have also acquired young skilled forward from Angers (Ligue 1), Mohamed Ali Cho. Mikel Oyarzabal, Alexander Isak, and Brais Mendez are just a few examples of the potent offensive weapons at head coach Imanol Alguacil’s disposal in the final third.
Sociedad did not quite sparkle in pre-season, losing the previous two matches against Eibar (1-2) and Athletic Bilbao (1-0). (1-0). Despite this, they are still heavy favourites against Cadiz, who only just escaped playing football in the Segunda Division last time around.
As a result of their last-round road victory over relegated Alaves, Cadiz were able to stay in the elite division (0-1). With this, they finished the season with a one-point lead over Granada, who were relegated to the second division.
While playing at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, Cadiz only managed to win three games out of a possible eight during the previous La Liga season. In 19 league games played at home, they have managed just 19 goals.
We shouldn’t be shocked if the visitors keep things quiet defensively on opening day, given that Real Sociedad are widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive sides in the league (they allowed 37 goals in 38 games last season).
Cadiz vs Real Sociedad – Betting Analysis
Real Sociedad also have tradition to back them up here. They won seven and drew three of the previous 10 encounters versus Cadiz. In two victories over Cadiz last season in La Liga, Real Sociedad scored five goals and allowed none.
We think the 2.20 odds on an away win by Real Sociedad are fair, given that they have both quality and history on their side. We also like the Sociedad to retain a clean sheet bet at 2.50, as Cadiz have failed to score more than once in three consecutive preseason losses.
