There are four fixtures to be played in La Liga on the 9th of April including the meeting between Real Betis and Cádiz.

The game will take place at the Estadio Benito Villamarín and the host are currently 5th in the table on 45 points while the visitors are in 15th on 28 points.

Real Betis come into the match having lost 1-0 at Atletico Madrid in La Liga on the weekend. The only goal of the game was scored in the 86th minute and it was a blow to Real Betis who could easily have come away with a point.

The defeat at Atletico Madrid means Real Betis have won only 1 of their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

There have been defeats against Manchester United home and away in the Europa League and draws at home against Real Madrid and away to Villarreal in La Liga. The victory came at home against Mallorca in the league.

Trends show Real Betis are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 La Liga games. They are undefeated in their last 3 home league matches and have lost only 3 of their 14 most recent home La Liga games.

Real Betis have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 2 home league fixtures and in all 4 of their most recent La Liga matches.

Cádiz travel to the Estadio Benito Villamarín on the back of a 2-0 home defeat by Sevilla. Both goals were scored in the second half and the defeat saw Sevilla move 3 points clear of Cádiz in the bottom half of the table. Cádiz are currently just 1 point off the relegation zone heading into this match.

The defeat at home against Sevilla was the first loss in 5 games for Cádiz, all of which were played in La Liga. There was a 1-0 home victory over Rayo Vallecano and draws against Getafe at home plus Real Sociedad and Almeria away. However, Cádiz have recorded only 1 win from their 6 most recent league games.

Cádiz have struggled to win matches on the road in the league and despite being undefeated in their last 2 away trips in La Liga, they have won only 1 of their last 10 away league fixtures. In their 3 most recent away matches in La Liga, Cádiz have seen under 2.5 goals scored.

Team news and Real Betis are without suspended midfielder, Sergio Canales. Nabil Fekir and Juan Cruz are injured.

Cádiz have two players suspended for this match, with Jeremias Ledesma and Isaac Carcelen Valencia missing out. Gonzalo Escalante and Brian Ocampo are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Cala, Jon Ander Garrido, and Joseba Zaldúa.

Cádiz are not always easy to beat but they come up against a team who are pushing for the top four this season. We expect to see few goals in this game and just a single strike could be enough for Real Betis to come out on top.
