Valencia are back in action with another La Liga match this weekend as they take on Cadiz in an important fixture on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past month and will want to win this game.
Cadiz are in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Rayo Vallecano last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Valencia, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have slumped after a strong start to the season. Los Che were held to a 1-1 draw by Athletic Bilbao in their previous game and will need to make amends in this fixture.
