Real Sociedad vs Cadiz prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2020-21

Real Sociedad are set to play host to Cadiz on Sunday at the Anoeta Stadium for their latest La Liga game.

Real Sociedad come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Unai Emery's Villarreal last Sunday at the Estadio de la Ceramica. An early first-half goal from experienced midfielder Dani Parejo for Villarreal was cancelled out by a late second-half goal from young Swedish striker Alexander Isak for Real Sociedad.

Cadiz, on the other hand, lost 4-2 to Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid last Sunday at the Estadio Ramon de Carranza. A brace from Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez and goals from Spanish midfielders Saul and Koke ensured victory for Atletico Madrid. A brace from former Sevilla and Manchester City striker and Spain international Alvaro Negredo proved to be a mere consolation for Cadiz.

Real Sociedad vs Cadiz Prediction

Real Sociedad enjoyed a good start to the season, but have slowed down. They are 6th in the league table, and have some talented players in the squad. Attacker Mikel Oyarzabal has been linked with big-money moves to top European clubs, while Mikel Merino and Alexander Isak have done well as well.

📊 @Mikel10oyar has netted five times in his last six @LaLigaEN games at the Reale Arena. ⚽ Six goals. 📈 If he scores on Sunday he would equal his mark of finding the net at home in the same season. 🔃 RT if you think that he can do it! #RealSociedadCádiz #AurreraReala pic.twitter.com/6mOELRuP8D

Cadiz, on the other hand, are 13th in the league table, and have generally done well. Veteran striker Alvaro Negredo has led the line well, while players like Anthony Lozano and Iza could prove to be crucial.

Real Sociedad should be able to triumph in this game.

Prediction: Real Sociedad 1-0 Cadiz
