Girona vs Cadiz CF prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-04-19 19:00.
[p]Five successive away defeats have seen Girona’s unlikely bid to win La Liga evaporate, and whilst they will take on relegation-threatened Cádiz on Saturday still sitting proudly in third place, they’re now looking nervously over their shoulder due to a four-point cushion ahead of AtlĂ©tico Madrid in fourth. That gap could have been as great as ten points last weekend, but MĂchel’s side were unable to hold onto their early 1-0 lead over AtlĂ©tico and went down 3-1 at the Metropolitano Stadium.[/p]
[p]Back at the Estadio Montilivi, where Girona are unbeaten in 12 home games across all competitions (W10, D2), the White and Reds are likely to be a different proposition. They also have an excellent record when hosting Cádiz, who they have beaten four times in six games (D1, L1) on home turf.[/p]
[p]But it’s not just in Girona where Cádiz have struggled on their travels. The relegation contenders are still yet to win away this La Liga season (D6, L9), scoring only seven times, and have now clocked up 20 consecutive away matches in this competition without returning home victorious. Their most recent away form has not provided much comfort or encouragement either, with their record in 2024 showing only one goal and two points (L4)![/p]
[p]Nothing is yet lost for Mauricio Pellegrino’s team, who started this round only three points adrift of safety with seven games of the season to go. Prior to falling 1-0 to Barcelona at home in the last round, they had been defeated in just one of five league games (W2, D2), and gaining points against Girona would be an enormous boost ahead of some important clashes with bottom-half opposition.[/p]
[p]Key battle: By mid-March, forward Artem Dovbyk had scored in only one game since the turn of the year, but his strike last weekend now means he has scored four times in his last three starts for club and country, including delivering the first goal in each of Girona’s last two matches. Looking to shut him out in this clash, Cádiz’s #1 Conan Ledesma has conceded only four goals in his last five games including clean sheets in two of those fixtures.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Girona trailed at half-time in only one match at home so far this season (HT: W7, D7).[/p]
