Sevilla - Cadiz predictions and free betting tips [15/05/2024]

On Wednesday, 15 May, as part of the 36th round of the Spanish La Liga, Sevilla will host Cádiz. The visitors are in 18th place in the standings, trailing the safety zone by five points, while the hosts sit 12th and have no significant objectives left this season.

Stadium

The match will take place in Seville at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Sevilla

Sevilla have had a disappointing season both domestically and in Europe. The hosts failed to secure even third place in their Champions League group and have been languishing in the bottom half of the La Liga table since autumn, even battling relegation at one point. However, in recent weeks, Quique Flores' side have picked up form: they went unbeaten in five consecutive matches, winning four, but unexpectedly lost to Villarreal (3-2) last weekend.

En-Nesyri scored twice in the first half, but the 'Yellow Submarine' turned the game around late on through Mosquera and Sorloth. Sevilla are three points behind 10th-placed Getafe and, with positive results in their final three matches against Cádiz, Barcelona, and Athletic Bilbao, they could finish in the top half of the table. It is worth noting that Sevilla are only 13th in the home points table, with 23 points from 17 matches, 26 goals scored, and 24 conceded. 

Cádiz

Andalusian side Cádiz must win on Wednesday to keep their survival hopes alive, but they are also reliant on 17th-placed Celta, who are five points ahead of the 'Pirates' in the standings. Last weekend, the yellow-blue secured a crucial victory over Getafe (1-0) in front of their home crowd, thanks to a first-half goal from Rubén Alcaraz, giving them one more chance to stay in the top flight after a tough four-match winless streak, including three defeats to Barcelona (1-0), a thrashing by Girona (4-1), and a loss at Santiago Bernabéu to Real Madrid (3-0).

It is important to note that the visitors are second bottom in the away points table, with just 6 points from 17 away games, 8 goals scored, and 30 conceded. After the clash with Sevilla, the 'Pirates' will face already unmotivated Las Palmas and Almeria, so it is vital to take all three points on Wednesday. 

Head-to-head

The first-round meeting ended in a 2-2 draw, while Sevilla won the previous three encounters.

Match Prediction: Sevilla vs Cádiz

Cádiz have been so hopeless on the road this season that betting on their victory at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan would be foolish. At home, Sevilla will look to make amends for the disappointing defeat to Villarreal last weekend, thereby moving closer to finishing in the top half of the table. Given the 'Pirates' overfilled infirmary, confidently back a triumph for the red-and-whites.

Total Goals Prediction

Sevilla consistently score two goals per game this spring and have a strong attack led by En-Nesyri. I predict an Individual Total Over 1.5 goals for the red-and-whites.

Corner Prediction

Supported by the home crowd, Sevilla will play proactively and will try to put immediate pressure on their lower-tier opponent. I predict an Individual Total Over 4.5 corners for the home team.

Yellow Cards Prediction

Both teams average 2.8 yellow cards per game, so it's reasonable to bet on the Overall Total Over 4.5 bookings.

Score Prediction

I predict a 2-1 win for Sevilla.
