Quotes
"This team needs all the players to play well and be in good shape, and when the level of many is at the level they are at at the moment, they all under perform as individuals," Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil said after their clash with Valencia.
"It is clear that not even against Celta Vigo some players showed their poor form, but it must also be said that we were up against a team that did their job very well and they didn't allow us to play our football.
"However, it's not a matter of attitude, it's football. You have to play it, you have to show the intensity, and once again with the ball when we had to be precise we failed. In duels when we had to win we lost them, and all of that doesn't help any player stand out."

Sociedad secured a 1-0 win over Cadiz in their last meeting in La Liga and the game was played at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla 14 August 2022.
The White and Blues are undefeated in their last seven league matches against the Yellow Submarine having recorded one draw and six wins.
