Cadiz and Alaves face this Saturday in the Cadiz fiefdom, the stadium New Mirandilla, in a duel that, without being agonizing due to the heights of the season in which it is disputed, it is that of two rivals harassed for the bad results that they want to flee from the ‘hot’ positions of the descent.
A triumph would be for him Cadiz, which reaches the 16th game and after a defeat against Espanyol, the perfect balm at a delicate moment that could be aggravated if Álvaro Cervera’s men are defeated by a Alaves that, in the same way, will arrive injured and thirsty for points.
In fact, Cádiz shares with Alavés and Granada the unwanted statistic of having just one game overdue so far, with the aggravation that Alava and Granada have played one less match; and only the bottom Getafe and Levante worsen this data by not having won yet.
The Andalusian team wants to win their second league match and, if successful, it would be the first that Cervera’s men would win this season at the stadium. New Mirandilla, where of fifteen possible points they have only taken three, in the draws against Levante, Barcelona and Valencia; while the other two matches ended in defeat, against Osasuna and Real Sociedad.
Cádiz has achieved a single win this season, against Celta (1-2) away from home and they are getting closer and closer to the relegation places, of which they are separated by two points.
The blue albia They still have not scored far from their stadium and have only achieved a victory at home, yes, against Atlético de Madrid 1-0.
The Basque team visits the Cadiz in full growth as it already demonstrated last day against Real Betis, against which lost in the last minutes, after offering the best image so far this year.
Although on Tuesday there is another direct duel against Elche, Javi Calleja is not going to save anything and will bet on an “eleven” very similar to the one that was measured against the Betic team in a good game but with a bad result.
The lack of goal It is the greatest must in the ‘Glorious’. With only two goals scored, it is the worst team in the five major European leagues in front of the rival goal, although in recent duels it has managed to generate more chances.
Miguel De la Fuente and Joselu Mato could repeat ownership in a squad that has all its members available to face Cádiz, which will presumably give the ball to the babazorros.
Also, Luis Rioja and Facundo Pellistri They will once again be in charge of supplying balls to Alavés’ offensive references, while Tomás Pina and Toni Moya could repeat in midfield with the permission of Mamadou Loum. In the rear will be Matt Miazga and Víctor Laguardia and Rubén Duarte and Ximo Navarro on each flank.
For his part, Cervera, Cádiz coach, will not be able to count on the injured José Mari Martín-Bejarano and Jon Ander Garrido in this match.
