Valencia take on the visitors Cadiz in the round 16 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, January 6th at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia).
Valencia were very close to winning the trophy. They, in fact, lacked a little: in the final of the Copa del Rey, with Betis, everything was decided only in a penalty shootout. However, neither these objections, nor good overall progress, saved Bordalas from resignation - Pep ended up spending only a year at the Mestalla. Now Peter Lim is betting on Gennaro Gattuso. The Italian is more likely to fail than vice versa. At the moment, the Bats have more losses than wins, 6 to 5. The balance was upset just after the pause, on December 31st. It did not help that Cavani, having scored another goal, opened the scoring on the field of Villarreal – even before the break, Chukvueze leveled. And in the very end, according to a more or less equal game, Foyth, with the help of Parejo, was able to complete the final 2-1 in favor of the “yellow submarine”.

Cadiz are rather old (founded in 1910), but extremely modest football club. For all the time it turned out to spend a dozen and a half seasons in the LaLiga. After a long pause of 14 years, it turned out to return in 2020. Avoiding relegation is well-known challenge for Sergio González Soriano, who has done it several times in Valladolid. The new championship had a terrible start, with 5 defeats in a row. But then Cadiz began to take points relatively regularly, and even sometimes win. However, all that happened before the pause in La Liga was to climb the penultimate step. It is clear that it was necessary to add, and there were hopes that the coaching staff would come up with something after a month and a half of downtime. So far, in December, managed to escape from the defeat at home with “Almeria”. At the 83rd minute, the final 1-1 was scored by Lucas Perez.
Valencia have beaten Cadiz twice in the cup in recent years. But at the same time, in the LaLiga, “Cadiz” has victories with 3 draws. Valencia at home against such an opponent will be the favorite. But Cadiz are not that strong either, and, most importantly, in order to win, you need to score – and this can be a problem. We bet that in this meeting “less than 2.5 goals” will be recorded.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
