Sevilla vs Cadiz Preview
In another much-awaited La Liga battle, Sevilla FC will welcome Cadiz CF in a home game on 15th May, Wednesday. The Spanish top-flight fixture is slated to take place at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan at 6:30 PM GMT, with only three rounds remaining in the current domestic division.
The Sevilla outfit, ranked as number 12 in the La Liga points table, has amassed just 41 points this season, which demonstrates how frustrating their La Liga campaign has been so far. It has been a tough journey for Quique Sanchez Flores and his men in the Spanish top flight as they have failed to live up to expectations. In the last three games, they have seen it all, adding only four points to their collection. A fighting 1-1 draw against Real Betis was followed by a comfortable 3-0 victory for them. However, the joy was short-lived, following a 3-2 loss at the hands of ninth-ranked Villarreal in an away fixture. Sevilla finished fourth last season under the stewardship of Jorge Sampaoli. But, since arriving from Getafe, Flores has struggled to find his footing in guiding a star-studded side at Sevilla. With his managerial career at risk, he desperately needs a win at home against low-ranked Cadiz CF to climb the table.
For Cadiz CF, they are now struggling to escape the relegation zone as they occupy the 18th spot in the table. Coming off a narrow 1-0 win against Getafe last week, they now look to beat Sevilla for three points in a bid to get closer to Celta Vigo. The Yellow Submarine currently has 29 points in their collection, five less than Celta, who are in the 17th position at the moment. Despite their fragile La Liga journey, they have shown how dangerous they can be if moments arise. After suffering a 3-0 hammering against the champions, Real Madrid, they picked up the pieces very well to return to victory at home against Getafe. Now, in search of another three points, they travel to the den of Sevilla to play in a midweek contest.
Sevilla vs Cadiz Team News
Sevilla
Sevilla FC have been hit hard by a long injury list throughout the season. Erik Lamela is the most recent injury-hit player who has joined the list of absentees, alongside the likes of Djibril Sow, Isaac Romero, Luis Dasilva, and Nemanja Gudelj. Flores will not have their services for the remainder of the season. With injuries piling up, it will be tough for the hosts to field a strong squad.

Cadiz CF
Head coach Pellegrino will have to head into Wednesday’s game without the services of Jose Mari, Jorge Mere, Luis Suarez, and Romingue Kouame due to injury. Meanwhile, Aiham Ousou and Darwin Machis, who were doubtful for the Getafe clash, might be seen coming on in the second half at Sevilla. With five or six players sidelined, the situation at the Cadiz camp is far from ideal at this stage of the campaign, especially when the prospect of relegation looms large.
