Cadiz Currently 8.00 To Win at Home Against Real Madrid
Published on December 1st, 2015 4:27 pm ESTCadiz will have their work cut out for them on Wednesday when they play host to Real Madrid in Spanish Copa del Rey action.
In the Round of 32 in the Spanish Copa del Rey, the seven teams which qualified for the 2015-16 UEFA competitions square off against the remaining seven teams from Segunda Division B and Tercera Division. This leaves us with little seen matches such as Cadiz v Real Madrid.
As you can probably imagine, Real Madrid is the favourite to win this match. Here are the current betting odds:
Cadiz, 8.00
Draw, 4.80
Real Madrid, 1.33
According to these odds, a successful $100 wager on Cadiz would yield a total return of $700, while a successful $100 wager on Real Madrid would yield a total profit of $33.
A number of Real Madrid's top players, including Ronaldo and Bale, are not expected to suit up on Wednesday. Don't forget that Real Madrid is currently involved in a battle in La Liga with Barcelona, plus they are active in Champions League play, which means that they will continue to rest some of their biggest players through the preliminary rounds of the Spanish Copa del Rey. Despite some of their best players sitting on Wednesday, Real Madrid is still easily favoured to win. For the two teams, however, this game has dramatically different meaning - for Cadiz, this is one of the biggest games in the history of the club, while Real Madrid is surely looking ahead to other matches in other competitions.
