Cadiz
- Cadiz have failed to win any of their last five games in LaLiga 2 (D1, L4).
- Gaizka Garitano has instilled an orderly, pragmatic approach in the home side who usually line up in a 4-2-3-1, which revolves around being compact, well-organised and structured at the back before making quick transitions forward.
- His side have recently failed to convert their solidity into points and they have lost their last two games, 0-2 at home to Real Sociedad B and 3-1 away to Eibar.
Real Zaragoza
- Real Zaragoza have also failed to win any of their last five in the same division (D2, L3).
- The visitors have been bad at both ends of the field and will be relegated if they cannot improve in the remainder of the campaign.
- Real Zaragoza have been all over the place in recent months as they have lurched from one bad result to another following the recent departure of coach Rubén Sellés.
Head-to-Head
- The last three head-to-heads in LaLiga 2 have seen one win apiece and a draw, and Cadiz edged the last meeting away from home 2-1 two months ago.
- Zaragoza’s away record this term reads W3, D4, L7 from 14 and they average just 0.93 goals per game, conceding 1.43.
Key Players
- Iuri Tabatadze has been their main goal threat with six goals in 18 appearances in this level this season and he could be the difference between the two teams here.
- Kenan Kodro has been their most potent forward with six in 19 league games and they may well rely on his talents in this contest.
Betting Insights
- The odds of 2.3 about Cadiz taking the win are about right as the hosts are the better of these two poor sides with a slight edge in all departments.
- So, with neither side likely to be free-flowing in front of goal, it seems sensible to back Both teams to score - No at 1.8 and Under 2.5 goals at 1.65.
Prediction
- This tactical match-up sees a very disciplined, low block side against a high-press team who are perhaps a little bit more risky in the way they play the game.
- Cadiz are favourites for a reason and can edge this one in a low-scoring contest, which seems highly likely given the lack of quality in both attack lines and the poor recent form of the visitors.
