Last update 29 January, 2024 por Alberto Llopis

In the duel of the yellow submarines, Villarreal needs to find defensive solidity that gives security to the rest of the team and allows them to demonstrate the talent in their squad., while Cádiz debuts with its new coach who assumes the very difficult task of saving them from relegation

Villarreal: It continues to rain goals against in La Cerámica

The famous saying states that “numbers don't lie.”, so the 12 Home games receiving at least one goal from Villarreal are a harsh reality that the Valencian team has to accept and work to resolve..

In front of Mallorca, The yellow submarine lost a very favorable opportunity to add three points and begin the path that takes them away from the red zone of the table.. But a goal a minute 91 by Javi Llabrés rescued a draw for the Balearic Islands and increased to 22 the goals that Marcelino's team have received at home, the worst record among all LaLiga teams.

Sin embargo, The Asturian coach was optimistic in his post-match statements: “It is happening to us. Last weekend Las Palmas shot us three times and scored three goals. They are dynamic when you are on a negative trajectory. But I'm happy. There are times when winning you are worried, but it fills me with satisfaction to see the work the team has done. We have been superior, dominators, with more occasions”.

Yes it is true that Villarreal took 18 finishes, 5 of them to the door, against the 8 y 2 respective of Mallorca. But defensive concerns remain, since with the 42 goals they have received this season, Villarreal is the second team that concedes the most, only behind bottom team Almería that needs a miracle to save itself from relegation.

Marcelino also dedicated some words of gratitude to the fans, who have stood by him and his players during this difficult streak of results: “It took us longer to get to the field than usual because people were waiting for us on the road., and the player needs this. The players want to get out of this situation and they are suffering. It's hard to assimilate. I thank the people and ask that we make a fort out of this field.. Today we have done many things to win. The important thing is that we have the capacity”.

Cadiz: Farewell to Sergio González

“I thank the players for all this time and let's see what happens. It was an extra ball, that we have earned, But I have to thank the boys for what may happen from now on.", were the statements of coach Sergio González after his team lost 1-0 against Alavés 19 from January. The next day, The departure of the Catalan from the position of coach was announced on the official social networks of Cádiz.

Llegaron a ser 17 days without winning since that victory 3-1 against Villarreal 1 September last year; casi 4 months without knowing the victory in the league. Added to that, Cádiz was eliminated in the Copa del Rey against Arandina, a team from the third division of Spain. This very poor performance of the Andalusians has them in the penultimate place in the relegation zone, and only the disastrous seasons of Granada and Almería prevent them from being further down the table.

The Catalan coach took charge of the Cádiz bench for the first time in January 2022, assuming the challenge of achieving a permanence that was five points away at that time. El equipo, that with Sergio he got his own style, He achieved salvation in the last twenty minutes of the last game of the season.

La temporada siguiente, la 2022-23, It started very badly for the yellows with five consecutive defeats without scoring goals. This made González's dismissal very close until a last-minute victory against Valladolid. From that triumph and after the World Cup break, Cádiz had two months of good football and results that allowed it to achieve a relatively calm stay.

At the press conference in Nueva Mirandilla to announce his dismissal, Sergio González shared a few words for the fans: “It's true that the last memory was hard. Like the moment when in the Roman coliseum they ask for you to be executed. But I prefer to forget that and I want to remember the receptions, communion, how we went hand in hand together in the first season. How in the second they supported us to the maximum and that communion made us win.”

Prediction

The last game that Cádiz managed to win in LaLiga was against Villarreal, in a victory 3-1 in Nueva Mirandilla 1 de septiembre. Almost four months later, the Andalusians are in the relegation zone, and the Valencians are not that far away.

Cádiz's form is really deplorable and it remains to be seen if the new coach, Mauricio Pellegrino, will be able to lift the spirits of his players, primero, and then implement a style of play that allows them to create solidity in the fight for salvation in the remainder of the season.

Villarreal continues to show defensive problems but the additions of Eric Bailly and Yeison Mosquera were made to address precisely this situation.

Although Villarreal is vulnerable at home, Cádiz's offensive and defensive inability at the moment does not allow us to think that they can get a result against a team that, at least with the names they have on the paper, should be extremely superior in the field.

Result prediction: Villarreal 3-0 Cadiz
