Cadiz CF vs. Sevilla FC
On the first Monday of the new year, an interesting match awaits us in the Spanish La Liga. At the end of the 19th matchday, Cadiz hosts Sevilla FC, who want to attack the top again this season. Cadiz, on the other hand, are thick in the relegation battle and must be extremely careful not to miss the connection. Everything is still within reach, as they are level on points with the first non-relegation place, but the situation is dicey and the team has to start scoring regularly.
Sevilla have been strong again this season, but at the moment the royals from Madrid are even more confident and lead the table. But right behind them, Sevilla is already waiting and with a win on Monday evening, they could move up to 5 points on Madrid. Whether we think the southern Spaniards will succeed, you can find out in this Cadiz – Sevilla tip.

Cadiz Form & Balance Check
The team from the port city of Cadiz is playing a very mixed season so far. After they managed to stay in the class last year and finished in a solid 12th place, it is the expected tough 2nd year this season. Nevertheless, Cadiz will be happy to be able to play first class again at all, because in the meantime they had disappeared from the professional scene and 5 years ago they were still playing in the 3rd Spanish league.
Is relegation still avoidable?
In Germany, we are familiar with the phenomenon that promoted teams that stay in the first year of the league have a very difficult second year. Cadiz is also currently experiencing this scenario and it is really hard to say whether the team will get out of the relegation battle again. It will certainly be a fight to the finish, but anything is still possible as they are only one point behind 17th-placed Elche. An exciting relegation battle awaits us in Spain.
Cadiz facts & analysis
– They have only won twice this season
– In their last match against Real Madrid, Cadiz managed to earn a 0-0 draw
– Cadiz have the second weakest offense in the league
Sevilla form & balance check
Sevilla have had a very successful season so far, even though they have disappointed internationally and were eliminated in the preliminary round. They are currently 3rd in the league behind Real Madrid, who have been incredibly good this year. But with a win on Monday, Sevilla would also have cracked the 40-point mark and could move to within 8 points of third-placed city rivals Betis. Teams such as Atlético or Barca have not been any competition so far this year, which is why the southern Spaniards are already effectively guaranteed qualification for the Champions League.
Do Sevilla still have a chance of winning the title?
Sevilla is the only remaining rival for the royals from Madrid. They could cut the gap to 5 points on Monday night as they have one more game than the league leaders. Nevertheless, it will be very difficult, because Real is in incredibly good form and has taken 46 points from 19 games. Sevilla are also playing a great season, but we don’t think it will be enough for the title in the end.
Sevilla facts & analysis
– The best defence in the league
– Sevilla drew 1-1 with Barcelona in their last game
– On average Sevilla are winning 2 out of 3 games this season
Predicted lineup – last update on 3 January 2022
After the 0-0 draw against the leaders last weekend, there is no reason to change from a performance point of view from the home side. Only Lozano might not be fit again, but Negredo could start. For the visitors, Koundé is suspended, an alternative would be Montiel, if the Argentine is fit again. Offensively, Lopetegui could go for more physicality and bring on En-Nesyri.
