When Cadiz welcomes Athletic Bilbao to Nuevo Mirandilla on Thursday night, they will be trying to make it two wins in a row in La Liga.

The hosts, who are currently 16th in the table, are coming off a 1-0 victory against Barcelona on Monday, while Athletic was defeated 2-0 by Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Cadiz was in the relegation zone going into Monday's match against Barcelona, and it appeared like a near-impossible job for the team to get a positive result at Camp Nou, but they did so with a 1-0 victory.

Cadiz climbed up to 16th place thanks to their one-goal victory, and they are currently two points ahead of 18th-placed Mallorca after the same amount of games (32).

Sergio Gonzalez's team have the poorest home record in La Liga this season, with 14 points from 16 games, but they will be hosting an Athletic side that has only won three times on the road this season.

Meanwhile, Cadiz has won two of their past three La Liga matches against Athletic, including a 1-0 victory earlier this season, and will be looking to complete a league double against the Basques.

Athletic will be coming off a dismal 2-0 home loss to Celta Vigo on Sunday and will be looking to bounce back in this encounter.

Marcelino's team are now eighth in the table, four points behind seventh-placed Villarreal and one point ahead of ninth-placed Osasuna, so a lot may happen in the coming weeks.

The Lions finished 10th in La Liga last season and have not finished higher than eighth since 2017, therefore a seventh-place finish would be considered a successful campaign.

As previously stated, Athletic have only won three league away matches this season, but have also suffered four defeats, splitting the points on nine occasions.

Cadiz's victory over Barcelona will have boosted their confidence tremendously, and they will be confident of causing Athletic issues on Thursday. The Basque team do not lose many games on the road, but they also do not win many.

Bet on this game to end in a draw. That should be an impressive 3.16 odds.
