On Sunday evening, Cadiz will look to boost their survival hopes when they host Las Palmas in gameweek 37 of La Liga.
Cadiz looks to keep their survival hopes aliveThe Yellow Submarine are in 18th place in the Spanish top-flight table, four points adrift of 17th place with just two remaining games.
The home team’s La Liga destiny is now out of hands, as 17th-place Real Mallorca only needs to pick up another win to survive. Cadiz are also five points adrift of 16th place Celta Vigo.
Cadiz have kept their survival hopes alive with back-to-back wins over Getafe and Sevilla, keeping clean sheets in both victories.
Their recent outings in La Liga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.
Although Mauricio Pellegrino’s team has been relatively inconsistent on home soil, they have won three of their last five home games in La Liga and suffered just one home defeat in the Spanish top-flight.
Las Palmas are ending the season in poor formThe Islanders go into this encounter on the back of a 12-game winless run in La Liga, having suffered nine defeats and picked up three draws. The run means that the visitors are just six points clear of the home team with two games remaining.
A 2-2 home draw against Real Betis last time out at least ended an eight-game losing streak in the Spanish top-flight. The game against the Andalusians ended a three-game goal drought.
Las Palmas have struggled on their travels in the Liga. They are winless in seven away games, having picked up just two draws and five defeats.
They have also suffered four consecutive away defeats in La Liga, scoring just once in that period.
What am I backing?Cadiz has gained some confidence recently in La Liga, while Las Palmas are struggling badly. This will likely be a close and low-scoring encounter, so the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals.
