Alaves v Cadiz

Alaves vs Cadiz Preview

Alaves will go in search of back-to-back wins for the first time in this season's La Liga campaign on Friday night when they play host to lowly Cadiz at their Estadio de Mendizorroza after recording a welcome and impressive 3-2 win away from home at Sevilla last Friday night, while Cadiz still remain in the relegation zone following a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Valencia last time out in La Liga.

Alaves themselves had had to endure a five-match winless sequence in the Spanish top flight which consisted of two draws and three defeats as points picked up in stalemates with the likes of Mallorca and Real Sociedad were outweighed by losses incurred against Las Palmas, Girona and Real Madrid respectively, so having recorded a win last time out, Alaves will be in a much more confident frame of mind ahead of this upcoming clash.

Alaves have managed to capture just five wins in total throughout this season's La Liga campaign but it is worth noting that four of these five wins were achieved on home soil at their Estadio de Mendizorroza with victories over Sevilla, Valencia, Almeria and Granada respectively, so they'll fancy their chances against relegation threatened Cadiz on Friday night.

Cadiz once again failed to put an end to their dismal and miserable winless run in the domestic top flight when they were dealt a particularly heavy 4-1 loss at home to Valencia last time out, making it 16 games now without a win in La Liga.

To make matters worse, Cadiz have also slipped to eight defeats within this poor period of results which have far outweighed the eight draws that the visitors have also accumulated within this 16-match stretch and although they have registered wins against Alaves (at home) and Villarreal to date this term, both wins were recorded on home soil at their Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla.

Results away from home have been even worse though as Cadiz have failed to pick up even a single win to date this season as Sergio's side have collected four draws but have also slipped to six defeats within their 10 away games so far and this sort of form suggests the visitors could well struggle on the road once again on Friday night.

The bigger picture shows Cadiz have collected just the one victory from their previous 21 outings on the road in the Spanish top flight so the visitors look to have their work cut out if they're to get anything against Alaves this time around.

Alaves v Cadiz Verdict

Cadiz have won the last two meetings on the trot against Alaves but the hosts look set to turn the tables on their opponents this time on Friday night.
