Cadiz vs Almería prediction 09.05.2025 | La Liga 2

• Competition: La Liga 2
• Date: Friday, 9th May, 2025
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla (Cadiz)

After four years in the Spanish top-flight division, Cadiz suffered relegation last year. Even though most football pundits expected they would be one of the candidates for promotion, they won't even be able to reach the playoffs. Right now, they are sitting in 13th place with 49 points in 38 matches. In fact, they are much closer to the relegation zone (nine points) than the playoffs (13). Now, in these remaining two rounds, the Andalusian team has no motive because they cannot significantly move up or down on the league's table.

Almeria, just like Cadiz, got relegated last year. Throughout this season, it seemed they were one of the best teams, and promotion looked pretty inevitable. After 23 rounds, the popular Cowboys held the top spot and played fantastic football. Unfortunately for them, since then, they have been too inconsistent, especially away from home, and are now in danger of dropping out of the playoff spots. Currently, they sit in 6th place with 62 points from 38 rounds. However, they are only three points away from 7th placed Granada and will have to keep winning points to secure the Playoffs.

Cadiz vs Almeria pick: Over 2.5 goals

Cadiz haven't been great for this bet throughout the season as they were over 2.5 goals in 47% of La Liga 2 games. However, their defense looked pretty bad in recent matches, keeping a clean sheet just once in the last five games nad allowing eight goals in total - 1.6 per game. That poor defensive performance could easily mean more goals in this game where Almeria needs points.

Almeria, on the other hand, are the best team in the league for this bet, as 66% of their La Liga 2 games ended with three or more goals. And away from home, that number is even higher - 74%. Also, away from home, they have been terrible defensively, allowing three or more goals in the previous three matches.

In the previous h2h game, we saw a 1:1 draw. However, there were a lot of opportunities for the third goal, especially for Almeria, which had 20 goal attempts. Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this La Liga 2 tie.
