The 2020-21 edition of La Liga returns to the fold this weekend as Cadiz lock horns with Real Valladolid in an important clash at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have struggled in recent weeks and need a victory in this game.
Real Valladolid find themselves in 17th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and face an intense relegation battle in the coming months. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Elche over the weekend and will need to win this match.
Cadiz, on the other hand, are currently in 13th place in the league table and have experienced a slump after a strong start to their campaign. The newly-promoted outfit suffered a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Real Madrid last week and cannot afford a similar result in this fixture.
