Cádiz FC vs. Atlético de Madrid: last News, lineups, tickets and predictions

Last update 7 March, 2024 por Alberto Llopis

The yellows want to get out of the relegation zone with more defensive solidity but they can't score, while the Madrid team has been weak on the road this season and puts its position in the Champions League in danger.

Cadiz: Pellegrino applies defensive order

The yellows achieved a second consecutive clean sheet in the match against Villarreal for the day 22 de LaLiga, but they still cannot score and have 19 matches without being able to win. La defensa cadista se vio muy resoluta ante un ataque valenciano peligroso que buscó llevarse los tres puntos frente a su público.

The locals applied high and suffocating pressure from the initial whistle that prevented the Andalusian team from leaving their field.. Sin embargo, The defense work of the visitors was excellent. To the 20 minutes Villarreal lowered the intensity and Cádiz was able to advance and create their first dangerous chances. The strategy was clear, looking for Chris Ramos at the top and with a very active Robert Navarro on the left wing.

After several fairly even minutes, The locals stepped on the accelerator again as the first half came to an end.. Álex Baena was the protagonist of several arrivals that ended unsuccessfully thanks to the impeccable defense of Pellegrino's team.

The entry of Gonzalo Guedes and José Luis Morales in the second half meant a revitalization of Villarreal that began to put Cádiz in their field. Isaac Carcelén would star in the most controversial play of the game when he stepped on Baena in the Cadista area, but the principal González Fuertes did not consider it worthy of the maximum penalty. The visitors continued their goal's resistance with success, without practically offending the rival goal and the match ended without goals for both teams..

Marcelino commented at a press conference about the work of his team in both areas, with mixed results: “One of the aspects of a team's organization is the defensive aspect and we have been very good there. We've had the lines together, we have played against great players, we have had our opportunities, and we have had to believe a little more to generate something more (…) When you have a team of this level, If you don't have precision to put together passes it is very difficult. We have worked, We were able to cause some scares in some part of the game but we lacked precision in the final meters”.

Atlético de Madrid: The visitor form has to improve

The rojiblancos fell at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán at the mercy of a single goal from Isaac Romero. The defeat marks the sixth as a visitor this season for those led by Cholo Simeone, those who lose a golden opportunity to establish themselves in the Champions League positions.

The Argentine coach opted for a starting eleven with the most repeated faces in the season: Morata, Griezmann, Boil, Barrios, From Paul; and with the debut of the new mattress center back, Brazilian Gabriel Paulista, who arrived from Valencia in the winter market. The first minutes were quite even without many emotions, but the inequality would reach the minute 15 and would bring a frenetic dynamic.

He forces a corner with a shot from distance that Oblak manages to clear despite a sea of ​​legs in front of him that obstructs his vision.. The corner kick got Isaac away from Koke's mark, who crashed into the post and could not follow the youth to avoid the first goal.

Just before the break, Things were getting much worse for Atlético when Morata fell after fighting an aerial ball and made an awkward movement with his knee that left him very sore.. He had to leave the field and Simeone decided not to make the change immediately but to wait for the whistle to go to the locker room..

Memphis entered the complement but had no luck in front of goal either.. Griezmann had a very clear shot that Jesús Navas cleared under the three posts and the rebound fell to the Dutch striker who could not define it and sent it to the wrong side of the post.. Atlético slowed down in the last minutes and took the bad taste of defeat that compromises their position among the first four in the table.

Diego Simeone highly valued the performance of his players, despite the result, in his post-match statements: “We didn't enter the game well, They found the goal that opened the possibility of being calmer and the enthusiasm. They had cons in the first half, the second we correct situations, The players came in well from the bench (…) I congratulate the opponent because they won a game with a lot of energy and we will continue in this line and they will enter when they have to enter.".

Prediction

Cádiz has proven to be much more solvent defensively under the direction of Pellegrino and will become even stronger in front of its home crowd.. Chris Ramos will have to be more effective in front of goal and the midfield will have to show more creativity to start raising the offensive numbers.

Atlético's away form is worrying, con 6 defeats in 12 games on the road. The number of games played by a squad that is not particularly nourished and that has several players who show a regression in their athletic conditions due to age should also sound the alarm..

Simeone's men will have a tough nut to crack in Nueva Mirandilla with an organized and tough Cádiz in duels, but the colchoneros have the individuality to unblock any defense and will probably take the win.

Result prediction: Cadiz 0-2 Atlético de Madrid
