Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
In the ninth round of the Segunda División, we are set for an Andalusian derby. These matches are always emotionally charged, but not often high-scoring. The last official meeting between the teams was back in 2020, where the visitors won 0:1, with eight yellow cards issued during the game.
Cádiz
After a run of five matches with points, the hosts have suffered back-to-back defeats. The team is struggling significantly in defence, managing just one clean sheet in eight matches. However, their attack continues to give fans hope, as they have scored in six of the eight rounds.
Málaga
The visitors, meanwhile, cannot boast of their scoring prowess. They have been inconsistent, managing to lose 0:3 to Elche while beating Huesca 1:0. Recently, Málaga have faced substantial issues in attack: they failed to score in two consecutive rounds. We believe that Cádiz's defensive issues could provide a perfect opportunity for Málaga to end this dry spell.
Cádiz vs Málaga Prediction
Their last official encounters were in the 2019/20 season, where Málaga scored in each game against their opponents. Given the circumstances now, we believe the visitors should manage to score at least once.
