Cadiz CF vs Ath Bilbao Prediction & Betting tips
The Monday evening game in LaLiga is this time for Cadiz and Athletic Bilbao, who can both use the points well. The home club has been hopelessly out of shape in recent weeks and sees the relegation zone getting closer, while the visitors are hunting for European football.
Cadiz:
Cadiz is still performing above expectations in LaLiga, because with a fourteenth place, the PhD candidate is still able to escape the Spanish relegation dance. Yet 2021 so far contrasts sharply with the successful year 2020. Four of the last five duels in all competitions were lost, and with a total of fifteen goals against, the much-vaunted rearguard has also been as leaky as a basket in recent weeks.
Despite its lesser form, Cadiz does not seem to be planning to change its tactics. “Alvaro Cervera is the Spanish Mourinho,” said acquisition Ruben Sobrino last week during his presentation about his new coach. I suppose he meant that as a compliment, but of course we all know that Jose Mourinho, especially during his time at Real Madrid, was not afraid to park the bus. That will probably be even more extreme on Monday evening, because Cadiz has to miss a laundry list of players.
Athletic Bilbao:
Where Cadiz is in a downward spiral, Athletic Bilbao is on the upward trend. The Basques surprisingly won the Spanish Supercopa last month, and thanks to the midweek 1-1 draw against Levante, they are only ninety minutes away from a second final place in a row in the Copa del Rey. They are also only five points away from seventh place in LaLiga with one more match credit, so in the battle for European football, the red and white have several irons in the fire.
The recent revival of Athletic Bilbao is mainly the work of the new trainer Marcelino, who clearly knows what to do with this player material. The Lions are a very tough opponent, and with the fast Inaki Williams have the ideal counter striker at home. However, you may wonder whether there can be countered on Monday evening, because Cadiz is not exactly an opponent who wants to play football. Athletic Bilbao will therefore have to make the game, and that is precisely what the team often has a hard time with.
