Cadiz Preview – Can struggling Cadiz get a result that could see them move out the relegation zone?
Cadiz can only hope that the start of 2022 is better than the end of the year just ended. It was just one win in their last 13 league games and that sees them sitting in second bottom position. On a more positive note they did manage a very encouraging goalless draw away to leaders Real Madrid in their final game of 2021. They are also just two points from safety and a win here could actually take them out the bottom three tomorrow.
So despite winning only once since September in the league their position could be much worse. The reason for that is Cadiz have been able to pick up so valuable points by drawing games.
Sevilla Preview – Are Sevilla set to begin the new year with a fourth away win in six attempts?
With Real Madrid suffering a shock loss on Sunday, Sevilla have a chance to get within five points of the lead and still have a game in hand over the only team who sit above them in La Liga. That is a big incentive for Julen Lopetegui’s men who had a solid finish to the calendar year having lost away to Real at the end of November.
Sevilla recovered from only their second defeat of the league season to take 10 points from their next four matches. The game they dropped points in was at home to Barcelona having gone down to 10 men.

Whilst Sevilla could potentially get to within two points of the lead if they can win both games in hand, they can’t get too far ahead of themselves. They’re not used to competing for the title and still have a lot to prove entering the second half of the campaign.
What they do have is a sound structure. Not team has conceded less than them thus far and have allowed only five against them on the road. The reverse of that, however, is they have scored only eight.
Cadiz vs Sevilla Betting Advice
Second bottom plays second top and whilst Cadiz are big underdogs to get that first home win of the season here they can take confidence from the point earned in Madrid last time out. They’ve also held Barcelona at home earlier in the season.
Sevilla are stronger at home but they are looking for a fourth away win in six attempts which is a signal that they are improving on the road. They’re also looking for a seventh straight win against Cadiz in league and cup competition.
Key Facts – Cadiz vs Sevilla Betting Tip
- Cadiz have yet to win a home game in the league this season, drawing five and losing four
- Sevilla have the best defensive record in the division, conceding only 13 goals in 18 games
- The hosts have lost their last six against Sevilla (last win in 2006 in the Copa del Rey)
This has the look of a low-scoring game for the reasons given above. Cadiz will look to keep it tight so Sevilla will expect to have a lot of the ball. Their improvement away from home has been encouraging of late, though, and the superior quality should see them over the line.
