LaLiga – Match-day 34 Sees Seville take on Cádiz

Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan sees Friday action as Seville take on Cádiz – 9:00pm GMT.

Right now, Seville sit in third place in the League, 14 places higher than the seventeenth placed hosts, Cádiz.

Seville’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 63 points this season

Is this to be the game where Seville to put a halt to their recent record of poor results? They go into this fixture on the back of two recent defeats to Levante and R Madrid.

Also, with seven draws in 13 meetings, Seville need to develop a strategy for getting over the line in games. With 63 points (17W, 4L and 13D), they are established in third position in the League having won 17 games, drawn 13 fixtures, and lost four meetings.

When Seville host Cádiz, they will do so on the back of 11 wins, four darts, and one defeats on their own ground.

Seville will have secured 66 points so far this season, should they secure a win.

Good atacking and defensive team

Seville’s defence has been rock solid so far, only conceding 28 goals in their previous matches. Seville will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (50). This is largely down to the efforts of their stand-out attackers – Rafa Mir (3), Papu Gomez (3), and Jesus Corona (2).

It is likely that three key players will miss Friday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Julen Lopetegui and his Seville team.

Cádiz’s LaLiga season, has so far seen them gain 31 points, going into this game

Whilst Cádiz need a positive result from this fixture, they cannot afford to throw caution to the wind. Another successive defeat for gaditano after losing against Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona would represent a worrying sign of where they are just now.

Also, with an unfortunate Cádiz that has not managed to win in their last League so far, Sergio’s men form is worryingly poor. They should solve their trend if they don’t want to occupy the lasts places in the League Table. With a seventeenth position in the league and 6 wins, 14 losses and 14 draws, they currently have 31 points in the League having won six games, drawn 14 fixtures, and lost 14 matches.

Cádiz’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Seville. In the 16 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won four meetings, drawn five games, and lost seven meetings.

Cádiz will have 34 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Cádiz’s squad will likely be depleted of three of their key players when they start on Friday, due to injury or illness.
