Cadiz and Real Sociedad will begin their 2022/23 La Liga campaign when they face off at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Sunday evening.
Cadiz had a poor campaign last season and narrowly escaped the relegation zone as they finished just a place and a point above the bottom three, with 39 points from 38 matches. They will keen to avoid same scenarios this season which will need them to have a good start to the campaign.
However, they have much to amend for before their opening tie on Sunday as they have a had a poor pre-season period, where they have played five matches winning and drawing the first two before losing the last three in a row.
Also they have played their last four home matches without winning and will be in low spirits entering their season opener, something they need to sort out as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad had an impressive campaign last season, with the side finishing sixth in the standings on 62 points from 38 games.
Their sixth-place finish saw them book a place in the Europa League and they will keen to replicate the same heights this season.
They had an inconsistent preseason period where they recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats from their five friendly matches, but they are in much a good form than their hosts.
Sociedad have also won all their last six matches against Cadiz and have performed a double over them in the last two La Liga campaigns – a run they will be happy and confident to extend this season.
