Both the title and relegation are at stake this weekend in Spain and we have a clash between teams at the top and bottom to enjoy.

The game between Real Madrid and Cadiz will be played on the 4th of May at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. The hosts begin the weekend top of the table on 84 points while the visitors are in 18th place on 26 points.

Real Madrid come into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

It was a good result for Real Madrid who took the lead in the 24th minute. Into the second half and Bayern Munich equalised in the 53rd minute and moved ahead with their second goal 4 minutes later.

Real Madrid were not done and scored their second goal in the 83rd minute.

The draw at Bayern Munich means Real Madrid are undefeated in their last 19 fixtures in all competitions.

They have won 3 of their 5 most recent matches, with the victories coming over Mallorca and Real Sociedad away plus Barcelona at home in La Liga.

There was also a 1-1 draw at Manchester City in the Champions League.

Trends show Real Madrid have won 6 consecutive games in La Liga. They have won 10 of their last 11 home league matches and have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their 5 most recent La Liga fixtures on home soil.

Cadiz make the trip to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Mallorca last weekend in La Liga.

It was a game Cadiz were hoping to win so they could draw Mallorca into the relegation battle but they fell a goal behind in the 12th minute. Cadiz equalised in the 59th minute but they needed more than a point from the game.

The draw with Mallorca means Cadiz have won only 1 of their 5 most recent La Liga fixtures.

The victory came at home over Granada but there have been defeats against Real Sociedad and Girona away plus Barcelona at home.

The stats show Cadiz are on a poor run of just 2 wins in 31 matches in all competitions.

They have failed to win any of their last 21 away La Liga games and have failed to score a goal in 5 of their last 7 league fixtures on the road.

Team news: Real Madrid have no major injury or suspension concerns. Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz, Joselu, Éder Militão, Dani Ceballos, Arda Güler, and Thibaut Courtois could all start having been on the bench in Munich.

Cadiz travel to the capital without the injured quartet of Jorge Meré, José Mari, Rominigue Kouamé, and Luis Hernandez. There are also doubts over the fitness of Lucas Pires and Aiham Ousou.

Real Madrid could rotate heavily for this game but that should not have an impact on the result.

With Real Madrid’s recent home defensive record in La Liga and Cadiz struggling for goals on the road, we predict a comfortable home win and a clean sheet for the hosts.
