Cadiz and Villarreal get round four of the Spanish La Liga underway when they lock horns at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Friday (September 1).
The hosts failed to find their feet on Saturday, as they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by a resilient Almeria side at home. Before that, Gonzalez’s side were handed their first defeat of the season on August 20 in a 2-0 loss to Barcelona.
Cadiz have had a respectable start to the new campaign, garnering four points from three games to sit tenth in the standings.
Meanwhile, Villarreal were left spitting feathers last weekend, as they fell to a 4-3 defeat to Barcelona at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Quique Setien’s men have lost two of their first three games of the season, with a 1-0 win at Mallorca on August 18 sandwiched between both losses.
