Betis vs Cadiz CF Prediction & Tips
Only one point was added by Real Betis in their debut in LaLiga Santander (LL) 2021-22, drawing 1-1 with the recently promoted Mallorca in Son Moix. With this result, the Verdiblancos have now chained 12 unbeaten matches in LL (G4, E8), their longest streak without losing in the championship since 2002. Manuel Pellegrini’s team will confidently face their first match at Benito Villamarín, where the last campaign was defeated in only one of the 14 meetings against teams that finished in lower positions (G10, E3, P1).
However, in recent years, Betis have been unreliable in their first home game of the campaign: the Verdiblancos have won only two of their previous six home games (W2, E2, P2). However, it should be noted that Betis achieved one of those two victories last season and with its unbeaten goal, something to take into account considering that the Seville team won its two games against Cádiz in LL 2020-21 without conceding a single goal.
Receive the Betic fiefdom to a Cádiz that exceeded expectations in 2020-21, occupying 12th position on its return to the top flight. For the first time since 1992-93, the yellow team has chained two seasons in the elite of Spanish football. Álvaro Cervera’s squad did not go beyond the draw against Levante in the first match (1-1), and will seek to cut a streak of four games without adding the three points (E2, P2).
Cervera does not have a good record against Pellegrini: the local coach has lost his three previous meetings with the Engineer, ending with a cumulative score of 5-0. Three of those five goals came after the 70th minute, including the two from last season (RBB 1-0 CFC, CFC 0-1 RBB).
Players to watch: Juanmi scored the tying goal at Son Moix last week, and found the door in the last game against Cádiz. Both goals came in the second half. The veteran Cádiz striker, Álvaro Negredo, has directly participated in five goals in his ten meetings against Betis (four goals, one assist).
Highlight: no team without the status of favorites achieved victory on the first day of this championship (E5, P5).
