Cadiz possible starting lineup: Ledesma; Carcelen, Mauro, Fali, Espino; Malbasic, Mari, Jonsson, Izquierdo; Negredo, Sobrino Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Nacho, Militao, Varane, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Jr We say: Cadiz 0-2 Real Madrid Cadiz, with their fond memories of facing the champions and newfound defensive resilience, can certainly trouble a Real Madrid team constantly bedevilled by a lengthy absentee list | Benzema turned provider for Madrid's second, sending a pinpoint cross for Alvaro Odriozola to convert |

A run of four-straight wins in LaLiga was ended last time out by Getafe, who held Los Blancos to a 0-0 draw | Benzema spearheads the attack in the final third |
They should be in a position to name a stronger eleven here with some players edging closer to fitness although they continue to have doubts over some players.
5Cervera's side have only lost one of their last six games in La Liga following their miserable spell between January and March, and given the packed nature of the league table, a top-half finish is not entirely out of the question for the improving Cadiz | This might not be a bad time to be up against Real Madrid either |
---|---|
Madrid have played game more than their rivals at the top, but have put the ball back into the court of Los Rojiblancos | Furthermore, Real Madrid travel to Estadio Ramon de Carranza boasting the best away record in the top flight - with only one of their 16 league games on the road so far ending in defeat - and during their 11-game unbeaten run away from home, no team has managed to breach Zidane's defence more than once |
Cadiz begin the evening nine points clear of the relegation zone and will believe that one more win will push them clear of danger.
