Cádiz come into the match on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Mallorca last weekend in La Liga. The only goal of the game was scored in the 16th minute and Cádiz could not find a way to breakdown the opposition defence in the time that remained.
The defeat at Mallorca means Cádiz have recorded just a single victory from their last 6 fixtures, all of which have been played in La Liga.
There have been defeats against Real Madrid and Osasuna at home plus Atletico Madrid and Mallorca away. The only win came at home against Valencia and there was a 0-0 draw at Espanyol.
Home form in the league shows Cádiz won their most recent fixture against Valencia but have recorded just a single win from their 5 most recent home La Liga matches. They have lost 3 of their last 4 league games on home soil and have scored just 2 goals in those 4 matches.
Real Valladolid travel to the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla having suffered a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Sevilla in La Liga last weekend.
With the score 0-0 at half-time, Sevilla opened the scoring in the 50th minute and added two further goals in the final 12 minutes of the match.
The defeat against Sevilla means Real Valladolid have lost each of their last 4 games. In addition to the defeat at home against Sevilla, Real Valladolid have lost at home to Atletico Madrid plus away to Valencia and Rayo Vallecano.
Away form in the league shows Real Valladolid have won 2 of their last 13 away trips. They have lost 3 of their 4 most recent away La Liga fixtures picking up a single victory at Villarreal.
Real Valladolid have been struggling to keep clean sheets when playing away in the league and have conceded goals in 6 of their last 8 La Liga matches on the road.
Team news and Cádiz are without the injured quartet of Víctor Chust, Roger Marti, Brian Ocampo, and Jon Ander Garrido. They also have doubts over the fitness of Álex Fernández.
Real Valladolid travel without the injured trio of Luis Pérez, Selim Amallah, and Anuar.
This is a massive game at the foot of the table and playing at home could be what makes the difference.
Cádiz do not have a strong recent home record but they won their most recent home fixture against another team that has been struggling near the bottom.
It is unlikely Real Valladolid are going to keep a clean sheet and we could see a home win with under 2.5 goals scored.
