Cadiz is again forced to fight for survival in Spain's top flight. They had coped with this task a year earlier, finishing in 17th place in the standings. They are even one place higher this season, but the relegation zone is just one point behind. At the same time, the team's current form is not impressive. In the last four meetings, they only picked up one win over Valencia, 2:1, and in the three remaining games, they lost 0:1 to Osasuna, 1:5 to Atletico Madrid, and 0:1 to Mallorca. Obviously, Cadiz will need to improve to stay in the Primera next season.

Real Valladolid is in an even more challenging position, having missed the end of the current season. The Valladolid side had been on the border of the relegation zone for a long time, but then unexpectedly, they took turns beating Villarreal and Girona 2:1 and 1:0, respectively. After that burst of activity, they seemed to have secured relegation, but a severe crisis developed. In their last four meetings, they lost 1:2 to Valencia, 2:5 to Atletico Madrid, 1:2 to Rayo Vallecano, and then 0:3 to Sevilla. Four successive defeats dropped Valladolid to 17th place in the table.

Cadiz and Valladolid approach their encounter next to each other, although they are both very close to the relegation zone. Therefore, this is a vital encounter in which points are of the highest value. For this reason, we shouldn't expect a high-scoring encounter between the opponents. Moreover, in the last seven head-to-head meetings, the opponents combined for only eight goals (1.14 per game average). As a result, a bet on a total under 2.5 goals is in order.

If we discuss the odds of the upcoming encounter, Cadiz will have a slightly better chance of success. The home-field advantage speaks in favor of the Yellow and Blue. They've kept their first face-off of the season 1:0 and picked up at least three points in the last four games, while Valladolid has had four consecutive defeats. It will be difficult for Paulo Pezzolano's side to break their losing streak, so we need to bet on a win for Valladolid. In addition, ex-Valladolid forward Sergio Guardiola's goal is worth a closer look.
