Atletico Madrid’s relentless charge towards the La Liga title takes them to Cadiz this weekend, as they look to win their 16th game of the season.
La Liga Preview
It can’t be underestimated how dominant Atletico Madrid have been this season in La Liga, as they have won all but three of the games that they have played. Their defensive record is particularly excellent, as they have let in just eight goals in the 18 games that they have played. They still have a game in hand over both Barcelona and Real Madrid, but have a seven-point advantage at the summit. The transfer of Luis Suarez from Barcelona has looked to be the bargain of the season, as the striker has scored 12 goals and made two assists in the 15 games that he has played for them in the league. His dedication to win has had a huge impact on the mentality change at the club this season. Suarez was once again on the scoresheet in their most recent win against Valencia. Joao Felix and Angel Correa also found the net in the win at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Cadiz’s first season in the Spanish top-flight since 2006 has been a huge success so far this term. They are comfortably above the relegation places with a six-point advantage and could be aiming towards a top-half finish if they can maintain the form that they set in the first half of the season. However, their home form to this point hasn’t been ideal, as they have won just two games at home, and have been held on four occasions. Cadiz have scored just nine home goals this term. However, there has been improvement over recent weeks, as they are unbeaten in three home games. The home recent of those was a 2-2 draw with Levante.
Cadiz vs Atletico Madrid Head To Head
The recent meetings between these two sides are few and far between since Cadiz hadn’t been in the top-flight for 14 years before the start of the current campaign. Atletico won comfortably in the first meeting between the sides this season, as they won 4-0.
Cadiz vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico Madrid have been pulsating throughout the season, and it would be difficult to see their winning run being put to an end by Cadiz. Therefore, the away win would be the most popular selection for this clash.
