After the first set of fixtures it's Osasuna - Cádiz 3-0 in points. Who will triumph in this second La Liga fixture of the season?

These teams have little in common geographically as Cádiz have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both squads have had a decent time to rest since their previous exertion in an official match. Let's agree to expect an enthusiastic game!

Appearing at their own stadium in the previous season Osasuna produced 5-7-7 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 26 conceded.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Cádiz form and stats

Let's have a look at how Cádiz performed last season in the La Liga: They landed a 16th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 15 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 35 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 6 and lost 8 with 16/27 goals scored/conceded.

Cádiz failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Real Sociedad (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Cádiz goalkeeper Ledesma had a magnificent day at work vs Real Sociedad, but even with pulling off six saves the beating could not be stopped.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Deportivo Alaves at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Cádiz are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.
