History:

Valencia CF will welcome LaLiga newcomers Cádiz CF at Mestalla on Monday Night Football at 9 pm kick-off time (CET) on Matchday 17. Valencia CF will be looking for an upturn in their results in the 2021 home opener to put 2020 behind them.

There have been 13 meetings between these two sides at Mestalla with a positive record of ten wins two draws and one loss for Valencia CF. Cádiz CF will return to Mestalla in the Spanish top flight 14 years later as their latest match saw a comprehensive 4-0 win in the second leg of the last 32 in the Copa del Rey.

Their latest LaLiga meeting at Mestalla however, dates as far back as matchday 31 of 2006 in an eight-goal thriller (5-3) for Valencia CF with Valencia CF legends like the likes of David Villa at the double and Miguel Ángel Angulo on a hat-trick.
