Valencia and Cadiz will be in action in La Liga for the first time this year when they lock horns at the Mestalla on Friday (January 6). The visitors will head into the weekend looking to snap their three-game winless run against Los Che and move out of the relegation zone.
Valencia, meanwhile, kicked off the new year on a high with a 3-0 victory over La Nucia in the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey on Tuesday. Before that, Gennaro Gattuso’s men were on a three-game losing streak across competitions, including a 2-1 league defeat against Villareal on New Year’s Eve. With 19 points from 15 games, Valencia are tenth in La Liga, level on points with 11th-placed Mallorca.
Meanwhile, Cadiz failed to find their feet in the league last time out, as they played out a 1-1 draw with Almeria on December 31. They are now winless in three La Liga games, managing just one victory in their last nine since September. With 12 points from 15 matches, Cadiz are 19th in the standings but could rise to 16th with all three points this weekend.
