Cadiz CF hosts Osasuna in round 1 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 12th at Estadio Ramón de Carranza (Cadiz)
Cadiz played in LaLiga in the 2005/2006 season but didn’t manage to stay there. Moreover, a couple of years later, the Yellow Submarine even relegated to Segunda-B, where it spent as many as seven years with some breaks. Only this summer, the team managed to return to LaLiga from second place. It was due to the excellent work of Alvaro Cervera, who has been a coach since 2016. But the team was seriously “processed”. Alvaro Negredo will continue his career in the squad of Cadiz. At one time, he was a striker of the Spanish national team. In general, there are many newcomers, but they came either free or for minimal compensation. Only time will tell if this horde managed to create a combat-ready team. If we look at the last friendly matches, the Yellows managed to beat Malaga and Espanyol. How will they show themselves at the new level?

A year ago, Osasuna was in the same situation as Cadiz is now. Then the Pamplonians were newcomers, but they held the 2019/2020 season perfectly. Experts expected anti-football and a struggle for survival, possibly unsuccessful. However, Jagoba Arrasate's men managed to please with a quite bright game and eventually climbed into the top ten. Remarkably, Osasuna preserved the main backbone, and even Chimy Avila, who was one of the discoveries of the last season, stayed in Pamplona. On the other hand, Osasuna did not make any acquisitions. It didn’t impress in friendly matches. In September, there was a 1-1 draw with Eibar and a 0-1 defeat to Real Sociedad. But Osasuna will have a completely different motivation, although it is difficult to get away from talking about a "second season". A newcomer who successfully conducted its debut championship at a new level often faced difficulties in the second one. And this often ended in relegation to a lower league. Will the Pamplonians avoid the risk of this?
Osasuna had a good segment in 2017-2019 when it managed to beat Cadiz three times in a row. But the last meeting (in May last year) ended in a goalless draw on the pitch of the Yellows. The bookmakers consider the teams' chances to be almost equal. Experts also expect low scoring. Nevertheless, Cadiz and Osasuna can please the fans with a good game, so we dare to choose an option with Over 2.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
