Sevilla Preview
Since being promoted back to the First Division in the 2001 season, this is the first time that Sevilla has been in serious danger of being relegated. After 17 rounds, the team coached by Jorge Sampaoli is in 19th place in the standings with only 15 points and only two points away from salvation.
The problem for Sevilla is the inconsistency they have shown throughout the season, since in their last eight games they have only one win, three draws and four defeats. An unprecedented performance for a club that comes from playing in the Champions League after finishing fourth in the Spanish league last campaign.
However, this Saturday they have another golden opportunity to redeem themselves and take a breath, as they host a Cadiz team that is also in the relegation places and one point ahead of them. This year the Sánchez Pizjuán has not made a difference, but in recent campaign Sevilla were practically unbeatable at home and everything points to an improvement on their record of just six points after eight games played.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Bono, Jesús Navas, Tanguy Nianzou, Fernando, Marcos Acuña, Joan Jordán, Nemanja Gudelj, Iván Rakitic, Oliver Torres, Erik Lamela, Youssef En-Nesyri.
Cadiz Preview
Drop by drop, Cadiz is trying to get out of the relegation places they occupy along with Sevilla and Elche. Like their opponents, Sergio González’s men are close to the salvation places with 16 points and have only lost twice in their last 12 league games.
However, although Cadiz is not one of the most unsuccessful teams in the current championship, their lack of goal-scoring ability is a serious problem, which has them as the second-lowest scorers in La Liga with 12 goals scored.The number of games they have played has reached seven, the second-highest figure only surpassed by Espanyol’s eight.
As for their performance away from home, those two defeats in the last 12 games came as visitors, where they have eight points from eight games and have conceded 13 goals for just five goals.
Probable lineup (4-4-1-1): Jeremias Ledesma; Isaac Carcelén, Luis Hernández, Fali, Alfonso Espino; Rubén Sobrino, Rubén Alcaraz, Fede San Emeterio, Brian Ocampo; Álex Fernández, Choco Lozano.
JefeBet Prediction
In terms of squad and history, this match should end with a win for Sevilla at home. However, this year’s Sevilla is not the Sevilla we have seen win six Europa League titles since the 2005-2006 season. Their defense is one of the most vulnerable in La Liga, and they have struggled to close out several games, such as last week’s match against Girona.
That being said, Cadiz also had a lot of problems throughout this season, especially on the attacking front. As visitors, they have also struggled to score, and Elche’s equalizer in the final minutes of the game could be a blow to their morale.
Prediction: Sevilla to win (SEV 1 – CAD 0).
