Cadiz take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 28 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, February 8th at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla (Cadiz).
Cadiz are one of the weakest teams in La Liga both in terms of football quality and results. Only Granada and Almeria are below them in the table. Representatives from Andalusia are five points away from safety. In 27 rounds of the championship, the team suffered 12 defeats, most of which were away from home. Like any team with not the strongest lineup, Cadiz performs better at home than away. However, recently the Yellow Submarine have been losing even at home quite often - in the last four league matches at home, Cadiz lost twice: to Betis (0-2) and Valencia (1-4). I think they will also lose to the mattress makers from Madrid.

For Atletico, this season has been very challenging. However, at the moment, the team is in the top 4, trailing Barcelona by just three points and leading Bilbao by five points - their main pursuer in the fight for a place in the Champions League zone. Bookmakers often doubt Atletico this season. I remember they were giving odds around two or exactly two for Atletico's victory over Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano. And the Madrid team ended up winning. Now there's also an underestimation of the visitors. Yes, several players, including Griezmann, will miss this match due to injuries. But he was also absent from the field in the last round, and Atletico still prevailed over Betis (2-0), which will certainly be stronger than Cadiz.
In this match, I won't reinvent the wheel and will bet on the victory of the visitors. I believe the odds for it are slightly inflated even considering all the factors that could hinder Atletico from winning. Against today's Cadiz, Madrid's Atletico looks like a favorite. The class of Simeone's team is much higher, and their motivation is no less than that of the hosts. The head-to-head statistics also favor the capital team: 7 wins to 1 with one draw in the last nine meetings. Perhaps it won't be an easy walk, but Atletico will likely take home the three points. My prediction is Away Win.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
