Valencia vs Cadiz Prediction
Valencia are winless in their last three league games against Cadiz, though they beat them in the Copa Del Rey quarter-final in February. Los Piratas have just one win to their name in their travels since November.
Los Che, meanwhile, shrugged off a run of seven winless games in the league between December and February. They are now on a four-game unbeaten run, winning three.
Valencia have been in good form recently, and it's unlikely they'll suffer a defeat here. Cadiz have scored just 13 goals in their 14 away games this season and might come up short at the Mestalla.
