Real Madrid will be aiming to maintain their fine form this season as they travel to the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla for a La Liga fixture against Cadiz. Lost Blancos appear to be getting better as the season progresses and should be too strong for their hosts, who have struggled this season.
It has been a difficult start to the season for Cadiz, who have claimed just two wins from 12 matches so far. They are just two points above the bottom three and need a swift upturn of results to ease away from trouble.
Things were particularly tough for Cadiz in the weeks building up to the international break as they suffered four defeats in five La Liga matches. Sergio’s men were beaten 1-0 by Getafe in their previous fixture, a clash where they could only muster two attempts on target throughout the encounter.
A small positive for Cadiz in the midst of their struggles is that they have had some home comforts so far. Their two wins have come at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla while they have only lost once in six La Liga matches in front of their fans this season.
Real Madrid were in a rampant mood last time out in La Liga as they ran out 5-1 winners over Valencia. A pair of braces for Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo followed an early opener from Dani Carvajal as they raced to a five-goal lead before the visitors struck a late consolation.
Despite only losing once this season, Real Madrid are second on the standings, two points behind surprise leaders Girona. However, given the quality and depth of their squad, manager Carlo Ancelotti will be confident of outlasting the leaders and returning to the summit of La Liga soon.
Real Madrid also have a fine record on their travels and have suffered just one away defeat across all competitions this season. They have claimed seven wins from nine fixtures on the road but have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last four in that run.
