Cadiz will face Lazio at the Nuevo Mirandilla on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. The home side endured a poor campaign last season, ultimately getting relegated from the Spanish top flight and will now be targeting immediate promotion under new boss Paco Lopez.
They have had mixed results in their pre-season campaign, playing out draws against Burnley and Real Betis in their last two friendlies. They will aim to return to winning ways this weekend ahead of their La Liga 2 opener against Real Zaragoza next Friday.
Lazio have also undergone a managerial change this summer, with Marco Baroni coming in as the new boss as the Biancocelesti push for a return to the UEFA Champions League. The Italian has hit the ground running during the off-season leading the side to four wins in their six friendly outings so far.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Southampton last time out and will be targeting victory here as they look to build momentum for the opening weekend of the new Serie A campaign, where they will face newly-promoted Venezia.
Cadiz vs Lazio Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Saturday's game will mark the third meeting between Cadiz and Lazio with both sides winning a game apiece in their previous matchups.
- The two teams last faced off in a pre-season friendly back in August 2004 which the Spanish outfit won 1-0 via a first-half penalty from Manolo Perez.
- The visitors' last trip to Spain came back in December last year when they faced Atletico Madrid in a Champions League group-stage clash which they lost 2-0.
- All but one of Limoneros' six league wins last season came on home turf.
Cadiz vs Lazio Prediction
Cadiz are on a run of back-to-back draws and have lost just one of their last six matches. They are, however, set for their toughest pre-season test yet and will be looking to give a good account of themselves come Saturday.
Lazio have won four of their last six games and are undefeated in their last 14. They are the stronger side ahead of Saturday's game and should come out on top here.
Prediction: Cadiz 0-2 Lazio
