Cadiz vs Sevilla: Preview
Cadiz form analysis
El Submarino Amarillo’s recent La Liga results paint the picture of a struggling side prone to defensive errors despite occasional glimpses of promise. They began positively by earning a 1-1 away draw at Real Betis thanks to Ramos’ opener before being pegged back. A goalless home draw with Rayo followed. But defensive issues resurfaced in a 2-3 home loss to Atletico, despite twice leading through Pires and Roger goals. Cadiz then suffered a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Girona, undone by Aleix Garcia’s strike. Most recently, their problems continued in a 0-2 home loss to Valencia.
Overall, Cadiz have lacked stability and resilience during this spell under coach Sergio Gonzalez. Conceding at least twice in 3 of their last 4 games highlights persistent defensive weaknesses. If Gonzalez cannot rectify these problems, Cadiz seem destined for a relegation battle. However, the occasional threat shown by Pires and Ramos demonstrates they can trouble teams if given opportunities.
Sevilla form analysis
Sevilla’s recent La Liga matches highlight a team struggling badly for form under a new coach. They started this period grinding out a 0-0 home draw with Osasuna but lacked attacking threat. An emphatic 5-1 win over Almeria followed as En-Nesyri and Lamela shone in a rare impressive performance.
However, struggles resumed in a 0-1 home loss to Barcelona after conceding to a late Ramos own goal. Sevilla then needed a last gasp En-Nesyri equalizer to salvage a 2-2 home draw with Rayo after trailing 2-0. Most recently, Sevilla drew 1-1 away at Real Madrid, going ahead through another own goal before being pegged back late on.
Overall, Sevilla have lacked creativity and goals, heavily reliant on moments from En-Nesyri. New signings like Lukébakio have struggled for form upfront. Defensive issues are also apparent after keeping just 1 clean sheet in this run. If Diego Alonso cannot improve Sevilla in both penalty areas, a season of toil awaits. However, the talent is there if hei can rediscover Sevilla’s customary solidity and get the attack clicking. Finding consistency and momentum has been the big challenge so far.
