Cadiz vs Elche Prediction: Expecting the Hosts' Shutout

Prediction for the La Liga Cadiz vs Elche match, which will take place on January 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Cadiz

Unlike most teams in La Liga, Cadiz played only two official matches in 2023. The southerners have long since been eliminated from the Copa del Rey, and in 2023 two tournament rounds were played. In La Liga, Cadiz earned four points: a home draw with Almeria 1:1 and an away win over Valencia 1:0. However, according to xG statistics, Cadiz did not score even half a goal in that game but brought all three points from the Mestalla. That decently improved the hosts' tournament placing but did not move them from the relegation zone.

Before the 17th round, Cadiz is in 18th position with 15 points. Sevilla and Valladolid failed their matches this round, and Celta sealed a draw. Cadiz will secure the 15th position or even higher if winning over Elche. Cadiz's home statistics are 17th, with only one win, four draws, and three losses, a goal difference of 6:14. Note that Cadiz did not fail the last five home games. Cadiz will certainly not help Zaldúa, Garrido, and Mari in the upcoming match. The participation of Gil and Chust is questionable.

Elche

They are the weakest team in La Liga at the moment. Elche gained only 4 points after 16 rounds, with ten goals scored and 34 conceded. After the World Cup 2022, Elche left the Copa del Rey because the club Ceuta, lost away to Atletico 0:2 and at home to Celta 0:1. In all these games, Elche did not score. Elche's away stats are also the worst, +0=2-6, 6:20 goal difference. Alamo, Donald, and Collado won't be available for Monday's game. Josana and Mercau are also questionable.

Expert Betting Tips

Unlike Elche, Cadiz looks good in 2023. If they win the upcoming game, the southerners will leave the relegation zone and even climb almost into the La Liga standings middle. The motivation of the Cadiz players is hard to express, and Elche is the weakest in the division in every way, and the team has not scored in the last three games. Cadiz has a great chance to win the second home game and the first shutout.
