Cadiz – Almeria

Cadiz host Almeria in what promises to be a decisive clash for the Andalusian side, who sit sixth with nine points from three wins and two defeats and a healthy +4 goal difference. The home team have struggled to find a foothold in the table, languishing in 19th place with just three points from three draws and two losses, and a –4 goal margin that underscores their defensive frailties. For Almeria, a win would cement their push towards the top half, while Cadiz will be desperate to snap their winless run and climb out of the relegation zone. Both clubs will be keen to improve their starkly contrasting records as the season edges toward its critical phase.
