Villarreal are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this week as they lock horns with Cadiz on Tuesday. Both teams have struggled so far this season and will need to win this game.
Cadiz are in 17th place in the La Liga standings and could find themselves in a relegation battle in the coming months. The away side suffered a 2-0 defeat against Deportivo Alaves over the weekend and cannot afford another poor result in this match.
Villarreal, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Athletic Bilbao in their previous game and will want to bounce back on Tuesday.
Villarreal vs Cadiz Head-to-Head
Villarreal have an excellent record against Cadiz and have won four out of seven matches played between the two teams. Cadiz have never defeated Villarreal in an official fixture and will need to step up on Tuesday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in March this year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Villarreal. Cadiz gave a good account of themselves on the day but will need to be more robust this week.
