Villarreal CF vs Cadiz CF - 24/05/2023
2532
On Tuesday evening, Villarreal and Cadiz go head-to-head in what could be a crucial encounter in La Liga for both teams as the league campaign approaches its conclusion.
The Yellow Submarine head into the final three gameweeks of the Spanish top-flight season fifth-place in the table, five points adrift of fourth-place Real Sociedad in the fight for the last Champions League spot in La Liga.
Quique Setien’s team have hit form at the right time, as they are unbeaten in five league outings, having recorded four wins and a draw.
The home team has also been prolific of late in La Liga, scoring at least two goals in all four of their recent league victories.
Villarreal has also been strong on home soil, having won five of their last seven matches in the Spanish top flight whilst scoring at least two goals in each of the victories.
While Villarreal looks to play Champions League football next season, Cadiz’s only current objective is to stay out of the relegation zone.
The visitors recorded what could be a crucial 2-0 win against relegation rivals Real Valladolid last time out in the Spanish top flight to move three points clear of their 18th-place opponents.
The victory was only Cadiz’s third win in their previous 12 matches in the Spanish top flight. It was also another low-scoring encounter for Sergio’s team, as eight of their last ten league games had produced under 2.5 goals.
Cadiz have been poor on their travels, as they have won just once in their previous nine away games in the Spanish top flight.
Like their matches in general, the visitor's recent away games have been low-scoring in La Liga, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous seven matches.

Forebet predicts that Villarreal will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their chances of Champions League football next season.
