On Saturday afternoon, Cadiz host Alaves at the Estadio Ramon de Carranza, as the pair battle for what could be crucial points at the bottom of La Liga.
Cadiz are just two points above the relegation zone in the Spanish top-flight after an underwhelming campaign in La Liga so far this season.

A 2-0 defeat against Espanyol last time out in La Liga means that Alfaro’s team has now failed to win any of their last four matches in the Spanish top-flight.
One factor in that disappointing recent run of form is a lack of goals, as Cadiz have failed to score in three of their previous four league outings, scoring just once in the process.
Their recent home results have also been poor, as the home team has failed to win in their previous six home matches in La Liga while failing to score in their previous three home games in the Spanish top-flight.
Cadiz’s lack of home goals in La Liga has contributed to four of their last five league outings on home soil producing under 2.5 goals.
Alaves have endured a nightmare of a campaign in La Liga, as the visitors currently sit bottom of the table, having suffered defeats in seven of their eight league matches so far this season.
The only time Javi Calleja’s team avoided defeat in the league this season was when they recorded a memorable 1-0 win over reigning Spanish champions Atletico Madrid.
Similarly, to their opponents, Alaves major problem of late has been scoring goals. In fact, they have failed to score in six of their last seven league outings.
Alaves also have a poor recent away record in La Liga, winning just one of their previous 17 league games on their travels.
Forebet predicts that this clash between these two low-scoring teams will produce a low-scoring draw.
