Will the submarine maintain its winning streak?
In the wee hours of May 24, eyes will be glued to the "Ceramica" stadium in Villarreal as the local squad faces off against Cadiz in the 36th round of the Spanish La Liga. Let's dive into the details of this highly anticipated encounter!
The Contenders
Villarreal
Having been undefeated in five consecutive league matches, Villarreal is a force to be reckoned with. They bagged a 2:1 win against Girona in their most recent game, returning from a 1-0 deficit in brilliant fashion. The team, under Unai Emery, stormed to an early lead in the 9th minute and maintained their grip on the game, allowing only a single Girona attack in the first half. The Yellow Submarine clinched the victory with goals from Pino and Moreno in the second half. Currently occupying the 5th spot in La Liga with 60 points and a goal difference of 54:36, Villarreal is a seasoned player eyeing a spot in the Champions League.
Cadiz
Cadiz snagged a much-needed win in their battle against Valladolid, breaking a two-game losing streak at home. Although struggling to gain control in the first half, they seized their opportunity in the second phase of the match, with Bongonda scoring a brace to secure the 2:0 victory. Cadiz finds itself 14th on the league table with 38 points and a goal difference of 30:62.
