Girona vs Cadiz Prediction 20 April 2024

The sensational Girona couldn't keep up the high pace it set at the beginning of the season. There's no longer talk of winning the championship, and even second place seems out of reach for the hosts. Their goal now is to stay in the Champions League zone. However, Cadiz, which will visit Montilivi stadium on April 20, is fighting for survival, so they clearly do not intend to give the favorite three points.

The hosts have some squad issues, but they are not critical. Roca will miss the game due to a knee injury, while Artero might still recover in time. The visitors are less fortunate – they have a whole list of players in the infirmary. San Emeterio, Luis Hernandez, and Mari have been injured since last year. The participation of Machis and Kuame is also in question, and the main left-back Javi Hernandez has accumulated too many yellow cards.

The main referee of the match is Javier Alberola Rojas. The young Spaniard is not keen on handing out cards. In his last 6 matches, he showed fewer than 5 warnings, didn't send anyone off, and didn't award a single penalty. The average number of fouls in the last 10 games is 26.

On average, matches involving Girona have 23 fouls, with only 9.7 of them committed by the Catalans. It's no surprise that the outsider Cadiz fouls significantly more often – on average 15 times per match with a total of 29.5 infractions. The visitors also lead in yellow cards – 2.7 warnings against 1.6 for the hosts. Considering the statistics above, one could bet on the total number of yellow cards being under (4.5) at 1.66.

The hosts are the clear favorites, which is unsurprising given their superiority in recent head-to-head encounters.Girona won 3 out of the last 5 matches between these teams. Logically, the bet on the victory of the Catalans is valued at a modest 1.46.

Girona has noticeably dropped in performance. The last time the team secured two consecutive wins was back in January. Also, it's worth noting that the Catalans are among the worst in the league in terms of average corners per game. They rank fifth from the bottom in this parameter. Girona has had fewer than 5.5 corners in their last 9 matches – an impressive streak. Meanwhile, you can bet on Girona having fewer corners (5.5) at a coefficient of 2!

Cadiz is the league's worst team in terms of scoring, and that says it all. In half of their matches, they left the field without scoring any goals. Cadiz failed to score in 5 out of their last 6 away matches in La Liga. You can bet on "the yellows" not scoring at an impressive 2.07.

This is the option we will go with. Away matches are very tough for "the yellows", while Girona looks confident at home. Therefore, without a doubt, we bet that Cadiz will not score at 2.07.

📊In this matchup, let's immediately focus on the statistics. The last official match between the clubs took place on 07 October 2023 at the Cadiz team's field and ended with a score of 0:1.
