Sevilla vs Cadiz Prediction 15 May 2024

🔊Sevilla find themselves in the middle of the standings with three matches left to the end of the 2023/2024 La Liga season, and will not participate in Europe next season. Cadiz are in the relegation zone with 29 points, 5 points behind the saving spot and with only three matches left. Cadiz clearly cannot avoid dropping points in their remaining games if they want to avoid relegation this term, but despite their urgent need of wins, they remain the underdogs in this encounter that will take place at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Losses
Sevilla have an injury list filled with important players, with Romero, Gudel, Lamela, Sow, Torres all set to miss this encounter. These players are regular starters, which suggests their absences are big blows to the Seville team.

Cadiz will be without six players, but Usou is close to recovery, which makes his participation in this tie a doubt. Four more players have been missing for a long time or have rarely been allowed to the base. Kuame is a big blow to Cadiz, who has been out injured for more than a month.

Head-to-head meetings
The advantage in head-to-head meetings is on the side of Sevilla, which has 69 percent of wins. Cadiz achieved only one victory in a span of 16 matches, and they succumbed to 11 defeats in their last 13 meetings with Sevilla. Therefore, it is worth backing Sevilla to win as a potential bet.

Referee and fouls
The teams will be officiated by Miguel Angel Ortiz Aryas. In the last 10 matches, the ref recorded a moderate number of fouls - 24.1. And had patience with the players, as he showed an average of 3.6 yellow cards per game. The figures rarely showed any increment for the entire season, as the ref averaged 24.67 fouls and 3.81 yellow cards per game, respectively.

• Sevilla have a fairly average foul rate of 12.8 per game. However, the team received yellow cards quite often - 2.8 per game.
• Cadiz are fond of committing more fouls, as they record 15.5 fouls per game on average. However, they have almost as many yellow cards as Sevilla - 2.9 per game.

Team Reviews
Sevilla head into the last three matches of the 2023-2024 La Liga season in decent form, having won four of their last six matches. However, they fell short last time out when they succumbed to an injury time 3-2 defeat to Villarreal. However, in head-to-head meetings, the second halves play a decisive role, as Sevilla scored and even won some matches after the interval. In addition, Cadiz conceded at least one goal in the 2nd half on the road in 5 consecutive La Liga matches. Therefore, Sevilla to score in the 2nd half looks like an excellent option.

Cadiz went through a list of tough matches lately, including an away game against Real Madrid. But at home they managed some points, as they secured a tight 1-0 win over Getafe. However, the team has not won away for a long time, and they recorded six points in their last 17 matches. However, Sevilla have conceded at home in 15 of their last 17 La Liga matches. Therefore, you can take a risk and bet on Cadiz Total Goals; over 0.5.

Editorial prediction
Cadiz are pushing to avoid relegation this term, and are not likely to throw in the towel just yet, given there's still hope to avoid the cut. But the points between them and outside the bottom three are somewhat much, five! The visitors struggle in these fixtures, having lost in 11 of their last 13 head-to-head meetings. Therefore, a Sevilla to win is the most suitable option for betting.
