Cadiz CF hosts Espanyol in round 21 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 18th at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla (Cadiz)
Cadiz is now in a situation when there is nothing left to lose. The victory will allow the team to keep the chances for a place in the elite. If the Pirates lose, they will continue to be in the relegation zone. I remind you that now they have 14 points in their assets. This is enough to be in the 19th position. The gap to the saving 17th place is four points. The men of Sergio Gonzalez have a lot of problems in the current season. But if you try to highlight the main ones, these are problems in defense, as well as low production. Cadiz players have scored 15 goals and conceded 34 times. At the moment, the shape of the team is very mediocre. In the previous seven matches, not a single victory was recorded: five losses and two draws. And the Pirates have never won at home so far: five defeats and five draws.

Espanyol unpleasantly surprised its fans a week ago. The Catalans lost 1-2 to Elche at home. Previously, the Parakeets performed very well at their native stadium, but a quite modest opponent managed to beat them. As a result, instead of getting close to the European competition zone, Espanyol remained on the 11th line in the standings. After 20 rounds, the Blue-Whites have 26 points. They show quite mediocre football in the current season. The away results confirm this: one victory, three draws, and six defeats with a goal difference of 8-15. By the way, the only win was recorded in the round before last (1-2 against Valencia). Interesting fact: four previous games of Espanyol ended with an exchange of goals and Over 2.5 goals scored.
In the first round, Espanyol didn’t experience any problems in the match against Cadiz (2-0). In total, these opponents crossed paths 36 times. Cadiz gained ten victories, while Espanyol won 16 times. The upcoming confrontation is likely to be quite interesting. The hosts will try to win because this is one of the few opponents that they can beat. But the Catalans will not just play out the string. Moreno’s men will certainly try to make amends for a failure in the last match. Of course, both teams prefer to defend, but I admit that now we should expect goals scored from them.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
