Cadiz vs Atletico Madrid predictions for this Liga Santander clash on Sunday at Nuevo Mirandilla Stadium. Atletico Madrid cannot afford any more slip ups if they want to keep within touching distance of Real Madrid, and they will have to beat a Cadiz team that still do not know what it’s like to win at home. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Cadiz
Cadiz fans were angry after their team’s last match, as they suffered their heaviest defeat of the season against lower-ranked Getafe. The result of the match was 0-4.
Apart from the superior quality of their next opponent, Atletico Madrid, the worrying thing about Cadiz is that in seven games so far at the Nuevo Mirandilla Stadium, they have not managed a single victory. There, they have four draws and three defeats, and along with Osasuna, they are the lowest scoring home team, with only four goals in seven games.
Last season Cadiz lost 2-4 and 0-4in the two meetings against Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid need to maintain a high level if they want to stay in contention with Real Madrid for the league title. Diego Simeone’s boys are currently in fourth place, four points behind Real Madrid. The derby between the two, on 12 December, will be a very important match.
Atletico Madrid have had three wins, two draws, and one defeat in their six away games so far, and they have been winless in their last three games away from the Wanda Metropolitano, with two draws and one defeat.
Simeone’s Atletico Madrid normally maintain a high defensive level, but this season there has been a noticeable drop, which is why they have lost points in games they had a good chance of winning, such as the game they were winning 3-1 against Valencia and ended up drawing in extra time.
The difference in level between the two teams is huge. Cadiz are playing at home, but that does not seem to be a significant factor, as they have not yet won a game at the Nuevo Mirandilla Stadium, and, against an opponent of Atletico Madrid’s prowess, we do not think that this will be the game to change that. Therefore, we think that Atletico Madrid will win this match.
