Real Madrid v Cádiz Betting Tips [20 December 2021]

Real Madrid will be at home to take on Cadiz as the Spanish La Liga goes into the 18th round of matches. Cadiz troop to this game placed 18th, with 13 points while Real Madrid top the standings on 42 points. Real are coming from a morale boosting 2-0 win over champions Atletico Madrid, a statement of their intentions this season. That was their fourth straight clean sheet and fifth in six matches. They are unbeaten in the last 13 matches across all competitions and in seven of their last nine league games, they’ve scored two or more goals. In their last 18 league matches at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid haven’t tasted defeat.

Cadiz are two points away from the safe zone, despite having played a game more than 17th placed Alaves. It is highly unlikely that they will be able to get out of the relegation region this weekend. A game away to Real Madrid is as tough as they can get, and three losses in their last four league matches doesn’t place them well for a possible shock result. In three of their last four league matches, Cadiz have conceded three or more goals, though ahead of this one, they are coming from a 1-1 draw with Granada. They did beat Real Madrid in this corresponding fixture last season and of course they will have memories of their 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey in 2015. Going to this game, however, if they can avoid defeat, it will be a big feat. Cadiz go to this game on a poor away run, having kept just one clean sheet in nine of 10 away league matches.

Real Madrid are in a class of their own as far as this season’s La Liga campaign is concerned. Here they get to host one of the weakest teams so far and all points to an easy win for Madrid. The league leaders are doing well defensively and in attack, while Cadiz have been poor defensively. Back Real Madrid to win with a clean sheet here.
