The “Yellow Submarine” is having a challenging season, desperately fighting to maintain its place in the elite Spanish division. Cadiz had a successful start, securing two victories against Alaves and Villarreal in the first 4 rounds. However, the team led by Sergio Gonzalez seemed to be under a spell afterward, with no wins in La Liga and only 10 points collected in the subsequent rounds. During the past week, Cadiz managed to secure a draw at home against Athletic Bilbao (0-0), breaking a three-game losing streak, and earned a point in an away match against Villarreal (0-0) over the weekend. Currently, Cadiz is in 18th place, trailing the salvation 17th position by three points. It’s worth noting that Sergio Gonzalez’s team has the lowest goal-scoring record in La Liga, with only 15 goals in 23 games.
In recent seasons, the “Green and Whites” have been a consistent participant in European competitions. However, under Manuel Pellegrini’s leadership, the team is currently in eighth place in La Liga. The gap from the sixth position is not catastrophic—just two points, but the fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao has a significant 10-point lead. It seems that there will be a serious fight for the sixth position until the last round between Real Sociedad, Valencia, and Betis. The “Green and Whites” failed to take advantage of the opportunity to catch up with the Basques on the last weekend, drawing 1-1 at home against Getafe. Before that, they defeated Mallorca away (1-0). The Sevillians had a nine-match winless streak on the road in the championship (6 draws and 3 defeats) before that.
