Cádiz will hope to make the best of their home form as they come up against top-five chasing Real Sociedad this week. This La Liga matchday 18 will be played at the Nuevo Mirandilla stadium in Cádiz on Thursday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 16th with 14 points and only a point above the bottom-three. The visitors are 6th with 30 points and two behind top-five teams. Cádiz drew 1-1 with Las Palmas in their last round which was their fourth league draw in a row. That kept them in the safety zone but extended their winless run to 13 league games in a row. This sequence saw Cádiz draw seven and lose six. The amount of draws should give them confidence of beating the odds and pick up at least a point. In fact, at home, Cádiz have won two and drew four of their eight league games this season.

Sociedad were held to a goalless draw at home by Betis in their last league game. That extended their unbeaten run to five league games, although two of the three last games ended in a draw. The visitors find themselves in an interesting zone where they can swap positions with Athletic Bilbao and move to fifth or lose ground on seventh-placed Betis. That should get them cracking against Cádiz, a team that Sociedad has defeated in five of the last six league games. Yet, their away form this season puts a question mark on their chances, especially as they have struggled to close out matches. Sociedad have won only two of their last five away league games, drawing two and losing one in the process.
