The 2020-21 edition of La Liga returns to the fold this weekend as Celta Vigo take on an in-form Cadiz outfit at the Balaidos on Monday. Celta Vigo have struggled this season and are in desperate need of a victory.
Cadiz have exceeded expectations this season and are currently in an impressive fifth place in the La Liga standings. The away side edged Barcelona to an incredible 2-1 victory last weekend and will want to put in a similar performance.
Celta Vigo, on the other hand, have been well below their best this season and are dangerously close to the relegation zone at the moment. The Galicians are currently in 17th place in the La Liga table but made a massive statement with a 2-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao in their previous game.
Celta Vigo vs Cadiz Head-to-Head
Celta Vigo have played Cadiz on a total of six occasions in La Liga since the turn of the century and have won four games against their Spanish opponents. Cadiz have managed only two games against Celta Vigo and need to take it up a notch in this game.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in 2016 and ended in a comfortable 2-0 victory for Celta Vigo. Cadiz have improved by leaps and bounds over the past few years and have a point to prove in this match.
