Real Madrid vs Cadiz CF prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-05-03 14:15.
[p]In between their UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid could secure their 36th La Liga title this weekend and second under head coach Carlo Ancelotti if Barcelona fail to beat Girona. Their substantial lead at the top of the standings allows them to prioritise their two-legged tie against Bayern, but the club have shown no difficulties balancing both competitions so far. [/p]
[p]Ancelotti suggested there’s likely to be a second La Liga career start for 19-year-old Turkish prodigy Arda Güler, who recorded their only goal at Sociedad in the last round in what was their sixth consecutive league win. Real continue to remain a formidable force at home in this competition (W14, D2, L0), averaging 2.5 goals per La Liga game whilst returning nine clean sheets in their last 14 such matches.[/p]
[p]Based on a 4-1 loss away to second-placed Girona in their most recent La Liga away trip, Cádiz look unlikely to avoid a fourth consecutive H2H loss to Real Madrid. But for them, there’s much more at stake than delaying Real Madrid’s imminent crowning, as following their 1-1 draw at home to Mallorca last time out, they start the round five points from safety with just five rounds to go. [/p]
[p]Compared with their direct competitors Celta and Mallorca, Cádiz also have the distinct disadvantage of having to play three of their five remaining matches away from home, where they’re still yet to win all La Liga season (D6, L10). Whilst their tally of 27 away goals conceded is better than many of their bottom-half neighbours, it’s their paltry eight goals on their travels throughout the league season that has played a big role in their potential relegation. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Look for Real Madrid’s VinĂcius JĂşnior to land the first punch as he did during the week against Bayern. He has now recorded their opening goal nine times in all competitions this calendar year. Cádiz forward Maxi GĂłmez has lost nine of his 11 personal battles with Real, but directly contributed to goals in each of the two exceptions (G1, A1). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Real Madrid have conceded in only one of their eight home games against current bottom-half opposition this La Liga season (W7, D1). [/p]
