Team News

Cadiz
Athletic Club
  • Ruben Sobrino and Ruben Alcaraz return from suspension to bolster Cadiz's ranks.
  • Sergi Guardiola played ahead of Maxi Gomez last week in the 1-0 loss to Alaves. But the pace and power of the Uruguayan could be preferred this time around.
  • Inaki Williams returned from AFCON with a crucial goal on Wednesday night against Barcelona, which means Athletic Club are through to their fifth consecutive Copa del Rey semi-final.
  • Nico Williams, Gorka Guruzeta and Oihan Sancet all scored in the cup quarter-final, too. Ernesto Valverde has done very well in utilising all weapons in his attack this season.

Prediction

  • Murmurings of Athletic Club being the best in La Liga along with Girona are starting to circulate in the approach of matchday 22. Guruzeta and Inaki have nine goals each in attack, supported by another nine thanks to Nico and Sancet's combined.
  • Cadiz are starting to slip, and having sacked Garcia Pimienta last week, ex-Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino faces a tough challenge at the helm. His tenure at the south coast English club came to an end in March 2018 after only a single win in 17 matches.
  • The hosts have Ruben Sobrino returning from suspension and have a much more favourable record on home soil. Athletic Club, though, are flying at the moment and Cadiz's chances of more time spent in the relegation zone seem more likely than not.
