Cordoba – Cadiz

Cordoba host Cadiz in what promises to be a tightly contested clash at the end of a bleak start to the season. Both sides sit on three points, with Cordoba in 20th place after one win and four defeats, while Cadiz sit just above them in 19th, having failed to win any of their five games. The hosts carry a heavier goal deficit, having scored only seven and conceded twelve, whereas Cadiz have netted five and let in seven. With the two teams already separated by a single spot in the table, the encounter could prove decisive in the battle to escape the bottom rung. A point for either side would lift them clear of the relegation zone, but a win would give the victor a vital psychological edge as the campaign unfolds.
