The current La Liga season has seen Cadiz score just two wins; their most recent triumph at this level came in a 3-1 victory over Villarreal at the beginning of September.
With the 52-year-old leading the team to consecutive goalless draws against Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal, which will undoubtedly go down as respectable results, there have been indications of improvement since Mauricio Pellegrino took over as head coach at the end of last month.
With just 17 points from 23 games, Cadiz is still in the relegation zone, but they are just three points behind Mallorca in 17th position, so there is still a lot of football still to be played this season.
The Yellow Submarines have struggled mightily to score goals this season; they have only managed to do it on 15 occasions, which is obviously the lowest total in the division.
It’s a prosperous time in El Submarino Amarillo’s recent history as they are actually playing football at this level for the fourth straight season, which is their greatest run since the early 1990s.
Real Betis, on the other hand, comes into this game coming off a 1-1 draw with Getafe; in Seville, the points were shared after Mason Greenwood gave Real Betis the lead in the eighth minute of play and Isco tied the score at the end of the first half with a penalty kick.
Along with Mallorca and Cadiz, the Green and Whites have been the La Liga draw specialists this season, splitting the points on 11 occasions. They have only managed to win eight games in the league.
Real Betis is now in eighth place, two points behind Real Sociedad in sixth place, and 13 points outside of the top four, meaning they will not be able to qualify for the Champions League the following season.
