Real Madrid welcome Cadiz to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu as they continue their inevitable march towards the La Liga title. Los Blancos have been on a cruise in recent weeks and should have too much quality for Cadiz, who are struggling to find their best form.
Sitting 11 points clear at the top of the La Liga standings, Real Madrid could actually wrap up the title this weekend if results go their way. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have won their last six La Liga matches and claimed a 1-0 victory at Real Sociedad last time out.
Real Madrid have done their best work at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, which has not tasted defeat all season. Los Blancos also attempt to maintain some defensive solidity in front of their fans, keeping four clean sheets in their last five La Liga home matches.
Cadiz are deep in relegation trouble and showing little fight at the moment, claiming just one win from their last five La Liga matches. However, they did battle from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Mallorca in their previous fixture with Omar Mascarell getting their goal.
Things have been poor for Cadiz on their travels as they are yet to pick up a single away win this season. Goals have also been hard to come by for Mauricio Pellegrino’s men, who have failed to score in seven of their last eight away matches.
How the bookies view it: Cadiz have been written off
Real Madrid are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 1/3 with BetVictor. An unlikely victory for Cadiz is valued at 9/1 by 888Sport while Unibet is offering 23/5 for a draw.

Players to watch: Antonio Rudiger to marshal Madrid’s defence to a clean sheet
Real Madrid have also been solid at the back lately, keeping four clean sheets in their last five home matches. Antonio Rudiger is expected to feature in central defence and could lead Los Blancos to another clean sheet at 20/21 by Coral.
Vinicius Junior had been in good form in recent weeks, scoring three goals in his last three matches. The Brazil forward will be the one to watch on Saturday and is priced at 13/10 by bet365 to maintain his scoring run.
