Cadiz CF vs Sevilla prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2023-10-27 19:00.
Cádiz recently signalled their long-term intent by revealing plans for a stadium upgrade, but their aspirations to be a part of the next La Liga (LL) season are in jeopardy after they slumped to a third consecutive defeat on Monday against Valencia (2-0). That was the second straight match in which they had a man sent off prior to the 25th minute, leaving manager Sergio González to lament another loss of composure and discipline after their fourth dismissal of this term.
Losing 1-0 to Girona in their previous home league outing was their first home LL defeat since late April (W5, D2), so if they’re to get back on track, Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla seems the most likely place to do it. But as they haven’t beaten Sevilla in a LL H2H anywhere since May 1991 (D5, L7), including a run of four straight home defeats, this could prove to be another challenging mission.
Diego Alonso’s first game in charge of Sevilla saw them hold Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw last weekend before they lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, a result that leaves them battling to reach the knockout stages of that tournament. After declaring their continental journey “isn’t over yet”, Alonso has to quickly turn his attention to the task of getting his new employer closer to the top half of the league table (W2, D3, L4).
Poor away form (D2, L3 from their last five LL road matches) is just one reason why they have not been able to improve upon last season’s dire nine-round haul of nine LL points. All three of those away losses came with one-goal margins, suggesting they’re not far from getting back to parity. And given the aforementioned H2H record, the surroundings of Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla could give them the confidence they need to break the drought, especially as three of their last four H2H wins here were accompanied by clean sheets.
Players to watch: Chris Ramos scored first-half goals in two of Cádiz’s last three LL wins or draws, netting after the 15th minute on both occasions. Nemanja Gudelj usually waits longer before striking as six of his last seven goals for Sevilla arrived beyond the 50th minute, including two across their last four games.
Hot stat: Sevilla collected either three or five yellow cards in each of their last six LL games.
