Cadiz
-
Recent stats:
- Cadiz have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games in all competitions,
- Cadiz have won six of their 11 home league games, drawing two and losing three, conceding 11 times.
- Gaizka Garitano, appointed as Cadiz head coach in December 2024, has brought a pragmatic approach to the club, and his side will set up to be compact and disciplined, frustrating their opponents with their organisation and counter-attacking style.
- The hosts have won their last two home games and have one of the best home records in LaLiga 2 this term,
- Cadiz have conceded just 11 goals in their 11 home games and should keep things tight in the defensive third again this weekend, with Iuri Tabatadze, who has six goals in 18 league games, their primary goal threat.
- Alvaro Pascual has three assists in Cadiz’s last five matches and he will again look to create the openings for Tabatadze to pounce on, with the hosts likely to cede possession and look to play on the counter.
Granada CF
-
Recent stats:
- Granada CF have won none of their last 5 (D3, L2).
- Granada CF have lost four of their ten LaLiga 2 away games (W2, D4), averaging 1.00 goals per game scored and 1.40 conceded.
- Granada CF will try to put pressure on the flanks, and with their high-tempo, attack-minded style, they will look to overload the wide areas and dominate possession - but their away form has been poor.
- The 19th-placed visitors have drawn their last two LaLiga 2 matches 0-0 and they will be hard to break down on Saturday, having failed to win any of their last two away fixtures against Cadiz.

Betting Insights
- Cadiz are a much better side, sitting in eighth with 34 points from 22 games compared to 19th placed Granada CF’s 23 points from the same number of matches, and with home-field advantage and form on their side, the odds of 2.6 on the home side seem generous while 2.78 on Granada CF and 3.05 on the draw also look attractive.
- The Under 2.5 goals market at 1.62 looks a solid bet, however, as the clash of Cadiz’s defensive block with Granada’s proactive, pressing style will likely make goals hard to come by.
Prediction
- Hosts have the momentum to pull away from Granada CF
- The Under 2.5 goals market at 1.62 looks a solid bet.
