The last head-to-head meeting between the teams took place on March 3, 2023, and ended with a score of 0-0. The statistics of personal meetings include 6 matches, in which the Cadiz team won 0 matches, while Real Sociedad defeated their upcoming opponent 5 times, and 1 match ended in a draw. The goal difference between the hosts and the guests is (14-18). It will be interesting to see if the players can reduce this gap or if it will even increase.
Cadiz
Cadiz will desperately try to end 2023, breaking a disappointing streak of four consecutive draws in La Liga with a 1-1 victory. Sergio Gonzalez took some positives from their recent draw in Las Palmas, boasting that his team “was better in the second half.” Only by extending such performances to the full 90 minutes can “Cadiz” increase their cushion by one point from the relegation zone, which would be a significant achievement against European contenders like “Real Sociedad.” Not only have the hosts failed to score in any of the last four head-to-head matches, but they have also lost the last four home encounters against the “royal” team. Hernandez, Escalante, and Marti will be unavailable due to injuries.

Real Sociedad
Playing away rarely troubled “Real Sociedad” this season—two official away losses coming from two major Madrid clubs, “Atletico” and “Real.” However, the theme of low-scoring games also applied to their away matches—four out of seven away victories for Imanol Alguacil were achieved with a score of only 1-0. Moreover, the Basques last lost in head-to-head duels in April 1993, giving them a good mood. Barrenetxea, Mendes, and Merquelanz will be unavailable due to injuries.
