Cadiz vs Granada Tip 1: Hosts to add key points to their tally

La Liga, Friday, March 29th, 20:00 (UK)

Cadiz remain five points adrift of safety, but there’s reason to believe they have enough to claw their way out of trouble with nine games to play.

Although suffering a 2-0 defeat last time out vs Real Sociedad, three previous positive results cannot be ignored – especially with two of those coming at home.

Their 2-2 vs relegation rivals Celta Vigo saw a dramatic 100th-minute equaliser, coming from two goals behind to rescue what could be an invaluable point.

A shock 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid really caught the eye. A brace from Juanmi stunned Diego Simeone’s side who showed plenty of fight in their bid for survival.

Their opponents, Granada, look too far adrift at this stage to save themselves, which has largely been down to their extremely poor away form.

Granada’s performances have been unacceptable. They have lost nine of their last ten matches on the road and failed to score in seven.

Cadiz is currently priced at evens, and the fact a single goal could win this is a price too good to turn down.

Cadiz vs Granada Prediction 2: Loanee to save the day

If Cadiz are to claim a memorable victory, they will need someone capable of scoring to fire them closer to safety. Fortunately, they have exactly that, thanks to their loanee signing from Real Betis.

Juanmi has come to help save the club from relegation, and the Spaniard has scored key goals since his arrival.

His first goal for the club came against Celta Vigo in front of their own fans before his brace was the reason why Cadiz claimed all three points vs Atletico Madrid.

With the home fans warming to their new saviour, Juanmi has come alive playing at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, and the 30-year-old will once again lead the line in a crucial fixture.

As Granada have conceded 58 goals to date in La Liga, expect Cadiz to create plenty of goalscoring opportunities – and for Juanmi to continue adding to his tally.

Cadiz vs Granada Prediction 3: Cautious bet builder worth chancing

For those looking for a safer selection, this bet builder may be for you. As we have mentioned, Granada has been extremely poor away from home this campaign.

With just two points on the road, they are yet to win a league match. Cadiz has lost four of their last ten home matches, but they have all come against stronger opponents.

Losing to Girona, Real Madrid, Betis and Valencia won’t make or break their season.

Although I’m expecting Cadiz to claim the three points, this is still a vitally important fixture for both teams. A cagey opening 45 minutes is anticipated with so much on the line.

BTTS No in the first half has landed in four of Cadiz’s last five home matches, and four of Granada’s last five away games have seen the same outcome.

• Best Odds: 1.70
• Bookmaker: bet365
• Stake: 6/10

Cadiz vs Granada Team News and Possible Lineups: Ivan Alejo returns

Cadiz don’t have any new injury concerns to be worried about, nor do they have anyone coming back from the treatment table.

However, they will have Ivan Alejo back with the squad after missing out against Real Sociedad due to his collection of yellow cards.

The same applies to Granada, who will welcome back midfielder Sergio Ruiz after his suspension comes to an end after sitting out against Mallorca. The 29-year-old has featured heavily this season and is likely to return to the starting XI.

Cadiz possible starting lineup: Ledesma; Hernandez, Ousou, Chust, Carcelen, Navarro, Kouame, Alcaraz, Sobrino, Gomez, Juanmi

Granada possible starting lineup: Batalla; Neva, Miquel, Piatkowski, Bruno Mendez, Jozwiak, Gumbau, Villar, Uzuni, Pellstri, Boye
