Cádiz and Las Palmas measure forces at Estadio Ramón de Carranza, in a match for the 12th round of the Second Division. The record of direct confrontations disputed in this stadium indicates total balance between these two teams, as there was 1 draw and 1 victory for each team in the last 3 games. But the last time these two teams met in this stadium was on 24-11-2018, for the Second Division, which ended the victory of Cadiz by (4-1). Deivid (11 ‘Autogolo), Manu Vallejo (42’), Sergio Sánchez (70 ‘) and Salvi (90’) scored the goals of the match, for Cádiz, and T. Pekhart (79 ‘), for Las Palmas. Particular attention is needed for the home / away condition, since both teams have significantly different results at home and abroad.
Cádiz:
The home team is currently in 1st position, with 28 points won, after 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, he won out against Real Zaragoza by (0-2). In the last match, he won out against Málaga by (1-2). This is a team that curiously has been stronger as a visitor than in their home games, since in the last 30 matches they have recorded 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss in his stadium.
For this competition, he does not lose in his stadium for 5 games. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 6 home matches for all competitions: he scored 4 of his 8 goals between minutes (76’ ‑ 90 ‘).
In the last round, Cádiz went to Málaga to beat the home team by 1-2, adding his fourth victory in the SmartBank League. The local team generally acts in a 4-3-3, which favors the defensive organization and counterattacks. The three most advanced players, responsible for panicking the rival goal, are Anthony Lozano, Salvi and Alberto Perea. For its part, the center of the field must be formed by Jon Garrido, José Mari and Álex. Coach Álvaro Cervera can count on all the players for this match against Las Palmas.
Las Palmas:
After 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, the visiting team is currently in 5th position, with 18 points won. In their last match, they won Deportivo La Coruña at home by (3‑0), after in the previous match they won out, in a match against Lugo, by (0‑2). This is a stronger team with the support of his fans, since in the last 30 games he has 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with 17 goals scored and 15 suffered; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in his stadium, with 25 goals scored and 18 suffered. In his last 5 away matches for the championship, Las Palmas recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so he won 8 points in 15 possible. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 7 of the last 10 games for this competition. In his away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since in 20 of the last 28 he played there were less than 3 goals. In 11 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 4 times and never got the comeback.
Las Palmas comes to this motivated match, after a clear 3-0 victory over Deportivo, in Coruña, in Sampedro’s debut at the head of the visiting team. Pepe Mel’s team is expected to play in a 4-4-2 lineup, with Tomás Pekhart and Jonathan Viera as the team’s offensive references. Keep in mind that the two players mentioned above are the team’s scorers, both with four goals scored. The midfield must be occupied by Pedri, Fábio González, Kirian Rodríguez and Srnic. Apparently, the visiting coach will have all the units eligible for the match against Cádiz.
