Real Sociedad defends its third place against the needy Cádiz News

MADRID, 2 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Real Sociedad will try to abandon its current irregularity and defend its third place in the LaLiga Santander 2022-2023 standings in the visit this Friday (9:00 p.m.) of a team also in need like Cádiz, in the match that opens the twenty-fourth day of the championship.

The royalist team fell at Mestalla (1-0) and showed that they still do not have the same feelings as at the beginning of 2023. The 'txuri-urdin' team is having a hard time getting the victories that will consolidate them as a clear candidate to play in the next League Champions League, especially in their last games at the Reale Arena, and they have also lost some of their goalscoring efficiency.

Imanol Alguacil's men fell at home against Valladolid (0-1) and drew against Celta (1-1), two rivals from the lower half such as Cádiz, who also hope to scratch something positive in their attempt to stay another weekend week out of relegation, although in his case, his performance at home is still very weak compared to his current strength in Nuevo Mirandilla where last Saturday he achieved his third consecutive victory against Rayo Vallecano without conceding.

The setback against Valencia did not cost Real third place due to Atlético de Madrid's draw in the derby, but the rojiblancos are ready and Betis have also taken advantage of it to get to three, so the fight for the Champions League between these three teams has been revived.

For the San Sebastian team to be able to sleep peacefully in their position before facing a return to the Europa League with a demanding duel against Roma will require a win against the Cadiz team, which has only added eight points out of 33 possible away from home and has only been able to score six goals in his eleven league outings, a problem against an opponent who maintains his defensive strength.

Sheriff has good news from the infirmary since he can once again count on David Silva, Mohamed Ali Cho and Ander Guevara, although it seems that he will not touch up the last eleven too much except for the question of who will be the right back. Sergio González, for his part, continues without being able to count on Brian Ocampo, but he can count on Sergi Guardiola. The entry of Alex Fernández could be the main novelty of the eleven to give him more strength in the middle.
