The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action this weekend with another set of matches as Villarreal take on Cadiz at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday. Villarreal have been excellent this season and are the favourites to win this game.
Cadiz have been impressive this season and find themselves in 14th place in the La Liga standings. The newly-promoted outfit will be intent on staying in the Spanish top-flight and will look to take something away from this fixture.
Villarreal have an outside chance of a top-four finish this season and cannot afford to lose this match. The Yellow Submarines arrested their slump by easing past Eibar last weekend and will be confident ahead of this match.
Villarreal vs Cadiz Head-to-Head
Villarreal have a good record against Cadiz and have won three out of six games played between the two sides. Cadiz have never defeated Villarreal in an official fixture and need to be at their best this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place last year and ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Villarreal missed several chances on the day and will need to be more clinical on Sunday.
