2 years ago 349

Game week four of the La Liga will see Celta Vigo square off Cadiz this weekend at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos. Match day schedules for September 2 at 22:00 EAT.

The hosts finished 17th in both the 2018-19 and 2019-20 La Liga campaigns, but they have not been in any relegation danger in the last two campaigns, claiming eighth and 11th position respectively, and it will be interesting to see what the team can achieve this term. Celta Vigo is currently 12 after recording a win, a draw and a loss in their opening three fixtures.

Celta Vigo prepares for this meeting confident coming off 0-1 La Liga success over Girona FC in their most recent outing. In that game, Celta Vigo had 46% possession, 11 shots with six of them on target and a goal scored by Iago Aspas (49′). Girona got 11 shots with three of them on target.

On the other hand, Cadiz are in Spain’s top flight for the third year in succession, but they only narrowly avoided relegation to the Segunda Division last season, finishing 17th in the division. Cadiz have struggled at the start of the 2022-23 campaign, losing their opening three games against Real Sociedad, Cadiz and Athletic Bilbao, conceding seven times and scoring zero.

Cádiz heads into this game hoping for better results following 0-4 La Liga trashing at the hands of Athletic Bilbao. In that game, Cádiz had 37% possession and nine shots with three of them on target. Athletic Bilbao got 20 shots with eight of them on target and goals by Iñaki Williams (24′), Gorka Guruzeta (56′, 93′) and Álex Berenguer (78′).
