Cadiz CF – Sevilla : Preview & Prediction
Cadiz CF recently presented its Sportech City project, which includes a new stadium with a capacity of 35,000 spectators, but the yellow team has taken steps backwards in its fight to stay at least one more season in LaLiga EA Sports (LL) by stringing together three defeats, the last one by 2-0 against Valencia at Mestalla on Monday. The match against Los Ches was the second in a row in which the Cadista squad suffered the expulsion of one of its players before the 25th minute. “We are committing harakiri,” lamented Sergio Gonzalez, whose team has seen the most red cards (four) in the first ten rounds of the current championship.
In their last game at the Nuevo Mirandilla, Cadiz lost 1-0 to Girona, ending a seven-game unbeaten run at home that began in April (G5, E2). With the support of their fans, Cádiz will be looking to get back to winning ways this Saturday, something that will be far from easy against a Sevilla FC side that they have not beaten in an LL match since May 1991 (E5, P7 since then). Of their 15 home derbies against Sevilla FC in the top flight, Cadiz have won only four (G4, E4, P7).
Following the departure of José Luis Mendilibar, Diego Alonso made his debut as Sevilla coach on October 21, earning a point against Real Madrid at the Sánchez-Pizjuán (1-1), three days earlier, after a 2-1 loss to Arsenal that made qualification for the Champions League play-offs very difficult. “We still have life in us,” Alonso declared after the clash against the Gunners. There is no time for regrets, and the Blanquirrojos face an attractive derby in which they are looking to move closer to the top half of the table (13th with a game in hand – G2, E3, P4).
Sevilla, who have equaled the poor nine-point haul they had in their first nine games of LL 2022-23, are winless on the road this season and have now gone five league outings without a win (E2, P3) – three of them this season (E1, P2) – although all three defeats in that run have been by the narrowest of margins. The blanquirrojos need to stop that bleeding away from home in a fishing ground that has historically been conducive to them: Sevilla have not lost at the once-named Carranza since 2005-06, and three of their last four wins at the Tacita de Plata have come with a clean sheet.
Players to watch: Chris Ramos has been on target in the first half in two of Cadiz’s last three wins/draws at LL, scoring after the 15th min on both occasions. Nemanja Gudelj often needs more time to beat the opposition goal; six of his last seven goals for Sevilla have come after the 50th min, two of them in the last four games for Sevilla.
Key stat: Sevilla have received three or five yellow cards in each of their last six LL games.
