Real Sociedad - Cádiz predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Real Sociedad. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of La Real and the 9.00 odds given to Cádiz to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The hosts are coming on the back of a narrow but hard-fought victory at Granada. Though they were initially considered the favourites, they blundered into a rough spot in the first half and it took a lot of effort to turn things around before the end.

Cádiz are coming on the back of a decisive 2:0 victory in the previous round’s home game, which can be considered a major upset of what most bookies expected. The odds on them winning were at 1.90, yet they led the proceedings throughout – and the goal difference was not negligible, either.

Experts have pointed at Sociedad’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 8 goals over the last 3 La Liga games.

The away team are struggling to get out of the relegation zone while they still have time to earn some points. After all, they’re not very likely to win any in round 29 because of the severely unfavourable matchup.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Elustondo, Aihen Muñoz, Barrenetxea, Carlos Fernández, Martín Merquelanz, Arsen Zakharyan, Odriozola. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Fede, Luis Hernández, Zaldúa, Roger Martí. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
