Alaves and Cadiz: A Fresh Start in La Liga
Key Stats
– Alaves netted only 47 times in their 42 Segunda Division matches.
– Under 2.5 goals were scored in 13 of Cadiz’s 19 home league games the previous season.
Alaves, after a hard-fought promotion from the Segunda Division, are looking to stamp their authority as they journey to Cadiz for Monday evening’s fixture. Fresh from their relegation scare, Cadiz, who finished 14th last season, are merely two points away from the dreaded drop zone. Embarking on their fourth consecutive season in La Liga, they’ve come a long way since their early 1990s streak. Their fight to remain was sealed with a last-minute draw against Elche, preventing a nail-biting finish.
Cadiz’s Squad Dynamics
A flurry of activity in Cadiz’s summer transfer market witnessed arrivals like Gonzalo Escalante, Sergi Guardiola, and Darwin Machis. These new entrants are expected to reinforce the squad, compensating for the notable departure of Theo Bongonda to Spartak Moscow. Their summer campaign boasted six wins from seven friendly matches, including a triumphant penalty shootout against Lecce.

Their lineup, however, will miss Brian Ocampo, Luis Hernandez, and Guardiola due to injuries. Nevertheless, with the likes of Machis, Javi Hernandez, Ruben Sobrino, Roger, and Chris Ramos, Cadiz have a potent starting eleven. Furthermore, Gonzalo Escalante, post his tenure with Lazio, is anticipated to make his debut for the home side.
The Alaves Perspective
For Alaves, their ascension to La Liga came after a rigorous journey in the Segunda Division playoffs. They defeated formidable teams like Eibar and Levante, ensuring their promotion. Sadly, their 2021-22 tenure in La Liga was short-lived, and they found themselves relegated.
Yet, under the guidance of Luis Garcia, the team underwent a revamp with signings like Antonio Blanco from Real Madrid and promising talents like Ander Guevara and Andoni Gorosabel. Their pre-season form was steady with three wins out of five, although they’re coming off a loss to Burgos.
Their lineup promises a robust challenge to Cadiz, with potential debuts for Rafa Martin and Guevara. However, they’ll miss the services of Giuliano Simeone, who’s sidelined due to an injury. Miguel de la Fuente might spearhead their attack, supported by Xeber Alkain and Luis Rioja.
Statistical Dive
Cadiz’s Struggle for Goals
Cadiz’s performance last season leaves room for improvement. With a meagre 30 goals in 38 matches, their offensive prowess was lacking. Their key players like David Gil and Jeremías Ledesma showcased brilliance with impressive BettingTips4You Expert Ratings of 7.38 and 7.17 respectively. Their top scorer, Gonzalo Escalante, managed to find the net just four times. This lacklustre performance might be further impacted by Theo Bongonda’s departure.
Alaves’s Return with a Point to Prove
Alaves, although dominant in Segunda Division, mustered only 47 goals in 42 matches. Players like Rubén Duarte and Luis Rioja, with BettingTips4You Expert Ratings of 7.09 and 7.01 respectively, were the standout performers. Rioja, with 10 goals, was their top scorer. Their last top-flight campaign saw them score only 31 goals, indicative of the challenge ahead.
Predictions
- Tight Match Expected: With Cadiz scoring in only 30 of their 38 games last season and Alaves’ 47 in 42 games in Segunda Division, an Under 2.5 goals seems likely.
- Correct Score: Given the statistics and recent forms, a 1-1 draw seems a plausible outcome.
- Goalscorer Prediction: From Cadiz, considering his form, Gonzalo Escalante might be the one to watch out for, while for Alaves, Luis Rioja seems the most likely to find the net.
