Cadiz vs Athletic Bilbao Preview & Predictions: Home Advantage to Make the Difference
The Ramón de Carranza Stadium in Cádiz plays host to a crucial La Liga clash between struggling Cadiz and inconsistent Athletic Bilbao on Saturday night. Both sides find themselves in the bottom half of the table and in need of points to lift themselves further from the relegation zone. A victory in this fixture could provide a much needed morale boost ahead of a tough second half of the campaign.
Cadiz vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions
Cadiz currently occupy 15th place with 19 points from their opening 19 matches, sitting just 5 points clear of the drop zone. Álvaro Cervera's men have struggled for goals and consistency all season, registering only 3 wins so far. However, they will take confidence from their solid home form at the Carranza, losing just 3 times on their own turf. Athletic meanwhile sit 12th with 23 points but have won just 1 of their last 5 in all competitions. They will be without key winger Iñaki Williams who is suspended.
Despite their poor league position, Cadiz have strengths at home that could make the difference. Striker Lucas Perez has netted 5 in his last 6 appearances and will be tasked with leading the line against an Athletic defence prone to lapses. The home crowd could also provide a hugely influential 12th man. With the match on their patch and extra motivation to lift themselves clear of danger, I'm backing the hosted Andalusians to claim a narrow victory.
