Cadiz vs Granada Betting Tips : Draw
The Cadiz squad’s euphoria from their remarkable two-goal victory over Atletico Madrid on March 9th, which ended their intimidating 23-game winless streak, was short-lived. Real Sociedad quickly humbled them with a crushing 0-2 defeat in San Sebastian.
Even so, the Yellow Sumbarine has demonstrated noticeable improvements since Mauricio Pellegrino took over, earning a decent eight points from an equal number of league matches under the Argentine’s leadership. This marks a significant improvement from their previous unimpressive spell where they only managed 8 points from 17 performances.
Cadiz, hovering just above the danger zone with a five-point gap from secure positioning, realizes that their upcoming Friday clash with another struggling team is a golden opportunity to enhance their chances of staying in the top-flight. However, their challenge this season has been converting draws into wins, with a record-breaking 13 matches ending in ties.
The team known for drawing in this season’s LaLiga is preparing to face Granada, currently the second-last team in the league. Granada recently decided to let go of their Uruguayan manager, Alexander Medina, amid the international break after a disappointing run of results in just 14 gameweeks. Interestingly though, he had led the team to a routine 2-0 victory over Cadiz in the reverse fixture before his departure.
Despite being in a challenging situation, 14 points away from safety with one game remaining, the Nazaries aren’t ready to admit defeat in their fight for LaLiga survival. This determination is particularly evident following the appointment of Jose Ramon Sandoval as their new manager &— the same man who saved them in the 2014-15 season.
This time, 55-year-old strategist Sandoval is up against a particularly difficult task to use his expertise and lift the team from the bottom three. This is especially challenging as Granada is entering this match on a nine-game winless streak and is struggling with unparalleled away game difficulties, having not secured any victories from their initial 14 premier league journeys.
Even though the Nazaries have a terrible away record, having only earned two points from away games this season (D2, L12), they remain hopeful of a positive result under their new manager. This is especially since they have only lost once to Cadiz in their last eight head-to-head matches.
Admittedly, most of the pair’s clashes have ended in a share of the spoils, a total of five times in that squence, including three straight draws at Nuevo Mirandilla, and we foresee the trend of indecisive outcomes continuing on Friday between these strugglers, as both sides’ mutual desire to avoid defeat will make the match highly tense.

Cadiz team news
The trio of Luis Hernandez, Fede San Emeterio, and Roger Marti are set to sit out the rest of the 2023-24 LaLiga season due to significant knee and ligament injuries, while Ivan Alejo makes his comeback following a one-game suspension.
Joining the injured trio recently is 26-year-old defender Jorge Mere, but his injury is not of a serious nature, so he is expected to at least make the bench in Friday’s clash.

Granada team news
Right after a tight 0-1 defeat on the Balearic Islands at the hands of Mallorca, Granada’s management wasted no time, showing Alexander Medina the exit door after a mere 14 rounds, appointing Jose Ramon Sandoval as their new coach, the man who once saved them from relegation during the 2014-15 LaLiga season.
On the unavailable front, the Nazaries will face their Andalusian rival without the services of Myrto Uzuni after he picked up an Achilles injury in training just before the visit to Cadiz, while Jesus Vallejo‘s eagerly awaited comeback might come a bit too soon for him on Friday.
