Athletic Bilbao come into the match having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw away from home against local rivals Real Sociedad. It was a good result against a team currently in the mix for the title this season and Athletic Bilbao secured a draw thanks to a 90th minute equaliser.
That result means Athletic Bilbao are undefeated in their last 5 games, all of which have come in La Liga. In fact, Athletic Bilbao have lost only one of their last 11 games, all of which have come this season.
Home form shows Athletic Bilbao have won 3 of their last 4 matches. There have been victories over Real Mallorca, Deportivo Alaves, and Villarreal. The only setback came in the 2-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano, with the visitors scoring in the 90th minute.
Trends show Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten at half time in all of their last 15 home matches in La Liga. They have scored at least one goal in each of their last 5 home league games and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 fixtures at San Mamés Barria.
Cadiz make the trip to the Basque country on the back of a 1-1 draw at home against Real Mallorca. The visitors took the lead in the 29th minute and it appeared as though they were going to take maximum points but Cadiz scored the equalising goal from the penalty spot at the end of the game.
That result means Cadiz are undefeated in 3 of their last 5 La Liga games but they have failed to win any of those matches. In fact, Cadiz have failed to win any of their 7 most recent fixtures, all of which have come in La Liga.
Trends show Cadiz have won just 1 of their last 15 matches in La Liga and only one of their last 7 on the road. Cadiz have seen both teams score in 6 of their last 7 away league games.
Team news and Athletic Bilbao will be without Daniel Vivian, who has a muscle injury. There are also doubts over the fitness of Oier Zarraga, Asier Villalibre, Aitor Paredes, and Peru Nolaskoain.
Cadiz have three players unavailable, with Salvi Sánchez, Ivan Chapela, and José Mari all on the treatment table.
Cadiz know what it takes to score goals away from home in La Liga and should find the back of the net. However, Athletic Bilbao have enjoyed the better start to the season and could take maximum points, with both teams scoring.
