Valencia-Cadice is a match of the tenth day of La Liga and is played Monday at 9 pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
The bombastic start – two wins in the first two days against Sevilla and Las Palmas – had deluded Valencia fans. Yes, because since then Ruben Baraja’s men have seen few victories, in fact only one, that with Atletico Madrid, a team equipped as every year to contend for the title against the two battleships Barça and Real Madrid.
But even then the Bats have failed to give continuity to the prestigious success with the Colchoneros: in the four matches against Almeria, Real Sociedad, Betis and Mallorca, Valencia has barely picked up two points and continues to postpone the appointment with victory for over a month. The standings, of course, have also been affected by this discontinuity of results: Baraja’s team is once again far from the Europa zone and thus from the top seven. The break, meanwhile, has been a panacea for the coach, who recovers several starters, including captain Gayà. Sergi Canos is also available, while Diakhaby, Jesús Vázquez, Marí and André Almeida also continue to populate the infirmary.
There seems to be a case for a return to winning ways in the post-match with Cadiz, an opponent that has done worse than Valencia in recent weeks.
Alcaraz and Fali del Cadiz
The Andalusians are coming off two consecutive defeats (Atletico Madrid and Girona) and haven’t won in over a month and a half, when they prevailed over a Villarreal in crisis. The Yellowoblù, like last year, are decidedly more vulnerable on the road: away from home they have barely scored a point, for what is the third worst away performance in La Liga. In Valencia, moreover, it will be an emergency in defense: there are only two center backs available to coach Sergio Gonzalez, namely “Fali” Gimenez and Jorge Meré.
The prediction
There is a good chance that Valencia will return to success against a Cadiz side that away from home has been virtually nil so far.
The likely Valencia-Cadiz lineups
- VALENCIA (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Correia, Paulista, Cenk, Gayà; Pepelu, Javi Guerra; Fran Pérez, Amallah, Diego López; Hugo Duro.
- CADICE (4-4-2): Ledesma; Iza Carcelén, Meré, Fali, Javi Hernández; Kouamé, Escalante, Alejo, Navarro; Chris Ramos, Roger.
