Real Sociedad host Cadiz at the Reale Arena on Friday (March 3) in La Liga.

The hosts have had mixed results in the league recently, falling behind in the title race. Sociedad lost 1-0 to struggling Valencia in their last game, falling behind in the first half to an Igor Zubeldia own goal and failing to find their way back into the game. Sociedad have picked up 43 points from 23 games this season and are third in the league table.

Cadiz, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season but have begun picking up points in recent weeks to avoid an impending relegation scrap.

They beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 last time out. Sergi Guardiola scored a second-half winner, his second goal in as many games for El Submarino Amarillo.
