Two sides that are yet to reach their peak level of performance so far this season clash on the final round of matches in La Liga before the international break. Villarreal will be hoping for a response after suffering a second defeat in three matches last weekend.
La Liga Preview
It hasn’t been the best start to the new season for Villarreal, as they have been too easy to beat across the opening month of the campaign. However, they will have the opportunity to get back on track this weekend, as a victory will enhance their chances of potentially finishing in a European spot this term.
The Spanish club suffered a second defeat in three matches last weekend, as they fell to a narrow 4-3 loss at home against Barcelona. It was a stunning fixture in La Liga between the two sides, with Barcelona eventually snatching maximum points after scoring the winner with 20 minutes remaining. However, Villarreal would have taken positives from their play in the final third, as they netted three times against the best defense from last season.
Bet hereCadiz won’t be afraid of this challenge on Friday, as they have started the new season in impressive fashion. They have already picked up four points from their opening three matches, with their only defeat coming on the road against Barcelona on matchday two.
They put that defeat behind them last weekend, as they battled to a 1-1 draw against Almeria in front of their home fans. However, Cadiz would have been disappointed not to have landed maximum points in that match, as they opened the scoring after 59 minutes, before conceding a 95th minute equaliser.
Cadiz vs Villarreal Head to Head
Cadiz have a poor record in this fixture, as they have won just once in eight matches against Villarreal across all competitions. Villarreal landed a 2-0 win in the most recent fixture between the sides, while this exact fixture last term ended in a 0-0 draw.
Cadiz vs Villarreal Prediction
This will be a close match in La Liga on Friday evening, and both sides have solid claims to land maximum points. However, we expect a low-scoring clash between the two rivals, with Cadiz landing a home win to continue their strong start to the new season before the international break.
