The Cadiz squad faces a tall task: reaching the 42-point threshold would secure their top-flight status, which translates to winning roughly four or five matches to finish safely.
Cadiz is back in the fight to stay in the Primera División, and supporters are already crunching the numbers to see how many points remain for the club to cling to La Liga in this season’s campaign.
What Cadiz needs to stay up and how many points are required to continue in La Liga for the 2022-2023 season
Traditionally, the magic number for survival is around 42 points, though that figure isn’t universal. In the last decade, only two seasons required that exact total to confirm safety, while recent campaigns have seen teams save themselves with a range typically between 35 and 39 points. Cadiz currently sits on 28 points, meaning they would need an additional 14 points to reach the 42-point mark and secure their place in the top division.
Looking ahead to the 2022-2023 season, the battle near the bottom has intensified, with several clubs collecting more points than usual. That shift could push the realistic survival score higher than in earlier years, making the traditional 42-point target a less certain predictor of safety.
Forecasts for the end of the first half of the campaign suggested that a clean run could leave the team on around 20 points, which would project to roughly 40 points by season’s end. That would escape relegation with room to spare against ordinary results, yet it might not require the full 42 to secure safety depending on how other teams perform and on the eventual goal difference.
Additionally, the relegation battle appears tightly packed, with teams ranked roughly from 10th place downward all visibly involved in the fight. Direct head-to-head meetings could prove decisive, as goal difference may solve several close calls. In this context, Cadiz has already established a favorable goal difference against competitors like Girona and sits level with Getafe in the race, underscoring how tiebreakers could swing outcomes in crucial fixtures.
