The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this week as Cadiz lock horns with an impressive Athletic Bilbao side at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Thursday.
Cadiz vs Athletic Bilbao Preview
Athletic Bilbao are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly inconsistent so far this season. The Basque giants slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Celta Vigo in their previous game and will need to work hard to win this fixture.
Cadiz, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The home side stunned Barcelona with an impressive 1-0 victory over the weekend and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
