Alaves take on the visitors Cadiz in the round 21 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, January 19th at Estadio Mendizorrotza (Vitoria-Gasteiz).
Alaves, after a somewhat prolonged stay in La Liga for such a modest team, finally faced relegation. However, they managed not to settle at a lower level, securing promotion through the playoffs with a decisive goal in the final moments of the playoff match. Representing Vitoria, the team has been successful in their fight for survival in La Liga, nearly grabbing a point against Real Madrid and missing out on a victory in San Sebastian. In Seville, they secured a 3-2 victory against the local team, with Duarte scoring in the 90th minute. Additionally, they advanced in the Copa del Rey by defeating another representative from the city, Real Betis, with a score of 1-0. However, this week in the Copa del Rey against Athletic, they couldn't achieve anything, losing 0-2 without much chance.

Cadiz are struggling for survival, but this time it is not as successful. The Yellow Submarine is a modest project that has spent only a few years in La Liga throughout its history. Its historical record remains a 12th-place finish, achieved right after the long-awaited promotion to La Liga in 2021. However, there has been a decline since then, and the team has had two consecutive seasons focusing on the battle for survival. Fortunately, with Sergio Gonzalez Soriano as the coach, a doctor in this matter since his time at Valladolid, the team twice earned enough points to maintain its status. Last season, they needed to secure 40+ points for survival. It seemed that progress could be expected, as they won twice and earned 7 points in the first four rounds. However, they struggled to win in La Liga, and in the Copa del Rey, they passed Badalona after a 0-0 draw, only to later lose to the modest Aranjuez 1-2. Moreover, they were defeated by Valencia with a score of 4-1.
In 7 matches, Alaves won only once. The Yellow Submarine have three victories, including one in August with a 1-0 score, playing with a numerical disadvantage. The Bean Destroyers have all the advantages, from differences in form to the home-field factor. The arena hosts have not yet resolved the issue of survival, so the prediction is that the match will end with their victory.
Prediction for the match: Alaves to win.
