Cadiz CF vs Eibar Prediction & Betting Tips (13 September)

Cadiz CF welcome Eibar to the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on September 13th in a clash that promises to be a tactical tug-of-war between two sides with contrasting early-season momentum. Cadiz, unbeaten in their opening three LaLiga2 fixtures, have shown resilience and attacking flair, most recently edging Albacete 2-1 in a spirited home performance. Manager Sergio González has leaned into a balanced 4-4-2 setup, with Brian Ocampo and Álex offering creativity from midfield while veteran striker Roger Martí continues to be a reliable presence up front. Despite goalkeeper David Gil’s absence due to meniscus surgery, backup Víctor Wehbi has stepped up admirably between the posts.

Eibar, meanwhile, arrive in Cadiz with a mixed bag of results. After a convincing 3-0 win over Granada, they stumbled against Huesca in a 2-1 defeat, exposing some defensive frailties. Coach Beñat San José has opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, relying heavily on Jon Bautista’s clinical finishing and José Corpas’ industrious wing play. The midfield pairing of Sergio Álvarez and Javi Martínez has been solid, but questions remain about their ability to contain Cadiz’s dynamic transitions. With Anaitz Arbilla nursing a knock, Eibar’s backline may be vulnerable to pace and width—areas Cadiz have exploited well this season.

Historically, Cadiz have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three of their last five meetings against Eibar. The most recent encounter ended in a goalless draw, but both teams have evolved since then. Cadiz’s home form has been particularly impressive, with two wins and a draw in their last three outings, while Eibar have struggled on the road, failing to secure a win in their last two away matches. The Andalusian side’s ability to press high and recover possession quickly could be the key to unsettling Eibar’s rhythm and forcing errors in midfield.

Given current form, tactical setups, and squad depth, a 2-1 victory for Cadiz feels like a well-calibrated prediction. Expect Ocampo to be instrumental in unlocking Eibar’s defense, while Bautista may snatch a consolation goal late on. The match is likely to be decided by Cadiz’s superior cohesion and home advantage, with Eibar needing to dig deep to avoid slipping further down the table. As both teams eye promotion, this fixture could be a defining moment in their campaigns.
