Relegation-threatened Cádiz back in survival race as Sevilla clash looms.
Sevilla FC will host Cádiz CF in a midweek clash where the hosts aim to extend their unbeaten streak against the Yellow Submarine, while the visitors desperately fight for La Liga survival.
Sevilla
Sevilla are coming into this game after a dramatic 3-2 loss against Villarreal last Saturday. Youssef En-Nesyri scored twice [26’, 44’] to put Sevilla ahead on two occasions, but Alexander Sørloth [30’, 90 +7’] and Yerson Mosquera [84’] turned the game around dramatically.
The defeat ended Sevilla's five-game unbeaten run [WWDWL] in the league. Quique Sanchez Flores’ team currently sit in 12th place with 41 points [10W, 11D, 14L], just two points behind 10th-placed Getafe [43 points].
Mathematically safe from relegation and out of European qualification, the Sevillistas aim to finish in the upper half of the table. Sevilla boasts an impressive head-to-head record against their upcoming opponent, remaining unbeaten in 13 games [7W, 6D, 0L] against the Yellow Submarine.
Avoiding defeat in this encounter would set a new club record for Sevilla with their longest unbeaten run against a single opponent in the top flight [14]. Additionally, Sevilla have played 15 home games against this opponent without a loss [9W, 6D], an unbeaten home record only surpassed against Elche with 21 games [16W, 5D].
Sevilla will be looking to build on their mid-week success, having lost just once in 13 La Liga games played on a Wednesday [7W, 5D, 1L]. Quique Sanchez Flores could opt for a 4-4-2 formation against Cádiz, featuring Lucas Ocampos and weekend hero Youssef En-Nesyri in attack.
Cádiz
Relegation-threatened Cádiz are coming off a crucial 1-0 victory against Getafe on home soil, which ended a four-game winless run [LLDLW]. Rubén Alcaraz scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 35th minute, much to the delight of the home crowd.
"The step is important, above all, because of the situation at the moment. The team has shown integrity," said Mauricio Pellegrino after the encouraging win over Getafe.
The Yellow Submarine currently sits in 18th place on the La Liga table, with 29 points [5W, 14D, 16L], five points adrift of 17th-placed Celta de Vigo. With three games left to play, a herculean task awaits the visitors in the race for La Liga survival.
Cádiz will require a near-perfect result in their remaining three games to have any chance of beating the drop. They make preparations for Wednesday’s trip, hoping to return as happy travelers with three points in the bag. Mauricio Pellegrino could deploy a 4-4-2 formation, with Christopher Ramos and Roger Martí in attack for this midweek clash against Sevilla.
