On the 19th of December, in this week 18 match, Real Madrid plays host to Cádiz in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Real Madrid sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Atlético Madrid. Karim Benzema scored the first goal for Real Madrid in the 16th minute, then Asensio added another in the 57th minute In the end, Atlético Madrid was frustrated by Real Madrid’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Real Madrid ended the match with the shutout victory. Real Madrid is on a hot streak lately, having won 8 of their last 10, while 18th placed Cádiz is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Granada. Santiago Arzamendia Duarte scored the first goal for Cádiz in the 32nd minute, then Jorge Molina tied it up for Granada in the 88th minute on a feed from Montoro squeezing out at least the one point for Granada. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Cádiz’s top weapon lately has been Álvaro Negredo, who has three goals in the last 5 matches. Karim Benzema has been the most prolific scorer on Real Madrid in the last 5 matches with three goals
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad will be without Dani Ceballos, while Álvaro Cervera Díaz’s Cádiz squad will be without Alberto Perea Correoso, Garrido Moracia, Martin-Bejarano Serrano and Carcelen Valencia.
