If Real Sociedad wants any chance of promotion to La Liga this weekend, it all starts with an away victory at Cadiz. After that, it depends on the results of Betis, Levante and Cartagena.

On Saturday, Real Sociedad could seal promotion to the first division. If they get a win against Cadiz at this weekend''s game (kick-off 18:00) and Betis lose at home against Numancia (21:30), the Txuri-urdin (white and blues) will play top flight football next season. If Betis draw or win, Real Sociedad will have to wait on the results of Hercules - Cartagena (21:00) and Real Union - Levante (19:00) on Sunday.

Real Sociedad goalkeeper Eñaut Zubikarai says he is only focused on the team''s match against Cadiz: "The most important thing is that we win. The other results and the guesswork, I''ll leave that to the journalists."

Real Sociedad has a chance of promotion this weekend, assuming they win on Saturday and Betis loses against Numancia. However, there is a plan B, providing Levante lose in Irun against Real Union, and the game between Hercules and Cartagena does not end in a draw.

Diego Rivas, who wore the yellow jersey for Cadiz during two seasons, claims the atmosphere in the stands at the Ramón de Carranza stadium is amazing and that the Txuri-urdin will have to work hard to seal a victory.

No matter what the results are on Saturday, the official celebration in Donostia - San Sebastian will be on Sunday. It''s still unclear what the club has prepared.
