Cadiz CF vs Las Palmas prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-05-18 17:00.
[p]Cádiz boosted their La Liga survival chances enormously by beating Sevilla 1-0 on Wednesday, and it was the perfect time to win back-to-back league games for the first time this term. However, as they’re still four points from safety and with a vastly inferior goal difference to those above, victory in both of their final two games of the campaign is essential, while they’ll also need to hope that other results go their way.[/p]
[p]In their favour then is the fact that they’re unbeaten against sides starting the round in the bottom half at home this season (W2, D6), and indeed have only lost to Barcelona across their last six home La Liga fixtures (W3, D2). Additionally, they haven’t lost a home H2H with Las Palmas since May 1987 (W4, D3) so the great escape could still materialise, especially as the Yellow Submarine play already relegated AlmerĂa in their final game![/p]
[p]Not that Las Palmas will simply roll over despite being all but safe from relegation and unable to qualify for Europe, as they showed during Thursday night’s 2-2 draw against Real Betis. After twice coming from behind to end an eight-match losing run in the league, another point here would mathematically confirm their stay in the top-flight for another season.[/p]
[p]But picking up points away from home has been a struggle of late for the Yellows – and perhaps understandable given their location in the Canary Islands – as they haven’t won a La Liga away fixture since January ended (D2, L5). Failing to score in three of the last four (L4) hardly suggests they’re primed to get much out of their last league road game of the season either.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Rubén Alcaraz netted the game’s only goal in Cádiz’s last home fixture (W 1-0 v Getafe) meaning his last four strikes were his side’s first of the game. Alberto Moleiro earned Las Palmas a point by completing the scoring against Betis with his third goal out of four this term to come between the 60th and 80th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Seven of Las Palmas’ last nine league fixtures (D1, L8) saw only one side score.[/p]
