Espanyol vs Cadiz Predictions

• Espanyol have won only two of their opening eight league games
• Cadiz have lost only three of their first eight fixtures, drawing on four occasions
• Under 2.5 goals has landed in five of both Espanyol and Cadiz’s eight outings

Plucky Cadiz can offer stiff opposition

Cadiz have proven themselves to be plucky opposition on more than one occasion this term and they can frustrate an Espanyol side that haven’t always put their best foot forward following last season’s promotion.

Espanyol may have recorded back-to-back home league wins over Alaves and latterly Real Madrid, but they also have goalless draws with Osasuna and Villarreal and a 1-0 defeat at Mallorca on their copybook.

It is plausible that the hosts have turned a corner but they have netted only six goals in eight games and at odds-on, against such stubborn opponents, are worth swerving.

Cadiz have lost only three of their first eight league games and that is despite having a tough set of early-season fixtures to contend with.

The visitors have already picked up positive results against Real Betis, Celta Vigo, Barcelona and Valencia this season, so should be confident of frustrating Espanyol.

Under 2.5 goals has landed in five of Espanyol’s and Cadiz’s eight outings, so it may be wise to expect another low-scoring encounter.

Cadiz have shared the spoils in four of their eight league games – two of which ended 0-0 – while two of Espanyol’s three draws have also ended goalless.

With that in mind, correct-score punters should take a chance on a 0-0 draw.
