Cadiz v Rayo Vallecano

Cadiz vs Rayo Vallecano Preview

Cadiz will return to the more familiar surroundings of their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla for Wednesday night's clash against Rayo Vallecano and having picked up just one point from their last two away games in succession, Cadiz will be looking forward to returning with all three points as the hosts look to lift themselves further into the top half of the La Liga table.

Cadiz have produced something of a mixed bag of results so far in this season's La Liga campaign as the hosts have won twice, drawn twice and lost twice but although they have suffered recent defeats to Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, both of these were kind of expected and both were also away from home.

The hosts have also picked up two wins though to balance out the defeats as they have collected maximum points against the likes of Alaves and Villarreal and more importantly, both of these victories were achieved on home soil at their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla which will give Cadiz reason to be upbeat about their chances for Wednesday night.

It's been results on home soil though that have really been impressive for Cadiz as they have put together a six-match unbeaten sequence in the Spanish top flight, picking up five wins in the process while also keeping three clean sheets as well.

Rayo Vallecano have fared slightly better than their upcoming hosts on Wednesday night as the visitors have claimed three league wins to date which have been achieved against the likes of Almeria, Granada and Alaves respectively while also slipping to just two defeats in their opening six games to date.

Defeats to Real Madrid 7-0 and Real Betis 1-0 have burst Rayo Vallecano's bubble somewhat in recent times and having managed to muster just four wins from their last 11 matches overall, Rayo Vallecano are by no means guaranteed the points here.

In stark contrast to Cadiz's encouraging results at home, Rayo Vallecano's results on the road have left a lot to be desired in recent times as Francisco's side have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 12 outings on the road which suggests they could be in for a tough night at the office against Cadiz.

In addition, Rayo Vallecano have been handed no fewer than eight defeats within this 12-match away sequence which also underlines the problems that the visitors have had on their travels lately.

Cadiz v Rayo Vallecano Verdict

Cadiz have won the last two home meetings on the trot against Rayo Vallecano and recent form on home soil suggests this upcoming encounter at their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla should also end in favour of the hosts as they look to further cement their position in the top half of the La Liga table.

Therefore, our main bet will be Cadiz win @ 2.50
