Atletico Madrid has found some form in the Spanish top-flight over recent weeks, and they will be looking to maintain that momentum this weekend when they take on Cadiz.
La Liga Preview
It had been a slow start to the new season for Atletico Madrid, but they are hitting form at a crucial stage of the season. The Spanish giants now sit third in the overall standings, and have a three-point cushion in the race to finish in the top four at this very early stage. Atletico comes into this fixture having gone five without defeat, and they have picked up four wins during that period.
Their latest win came on Thursday evening, as they were able to hold their nerve to pick up a big 2-1 victory on the road against Real Betis. The hero in that fixture was Antoine Griezmann, as the former Barcelona star scored a second half brace. It was a professional display on the road by Atletico, as they played on the counter-attack, and were lethal when their chances arrived.
Cadiz is really struggling in the Spanish top flight this season, as they are already three points from safety in the current standings. This season, they have claimed just a single victory from eleven fixtures, and they have scored a league-low of five goals. Cadiz also has the second-worst goals against record in La Liga, having allowed 22 goals.
Before last weekend, they had drawn their previous four games in the league. However, a sixth defeat of the season was inflicted in their previous fixture. That loss was a humbling afternoon on the road for Cadiz, as they were routinely beaten 5-1 by Rayo Vallecano. Cadiz’s only goal in the game was scored with just under two minutes remaining.
