The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Cadiz take on Levante on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Levante are rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have endured a dismal season so far. The Valencia-based outfit eased past Mallorca by a 2-0 margin last week and will want a similar result in this fixture.
Cadiz, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw against Espanyol last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Levante vs Cadiz Head-to-Head
Levante have a good record against Cadiz and have won two out of nine matches played between the two teams. Cadiz have never defeated Levante in an official fixture and will want to create history on Saturday.
The previous meeting between the two sides took place in August last year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.
