The Cadiz preview
Cadiz occupies the penultimate place in the standings with only 11 points after 14 games. This is a somewhat unfair position, given that they have lost only two games out of the last nine games they have played, but the accumulated draws explain their current position.
The break for the World Cup in Qatar did not come at the right time for Cadiz, who had been showing improvement in their game that would have, undoubtedly, translated into points later on. In fact, during the friendly matches, they achieved unthinkable victories, such as a 4-2 win at home against Manchester United, and a 3-0 away win against Roma.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Jeremías Ledesma; Iza Carcelén, Luis Hernández, Momo Mbaye, Espino; Álex Fernández, Rubén Alcaraz, Federico San Emeterio, Théo Bongonda; Sobrino, Choco Lozano.
The Almeria preview
On their part, Almeria arrive at Mirandilla with a sad record this season, being the team with the worst performance away from home, as they only got one point (1-1 against Elche on matchday 2).
In any case, their campaign so far has not been bad, given that they are in 14th place in the standings with 16 points, five points above the last team in the relegation zone, Sevilla.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Fernando Martínez; Álex Pozo, Srdan Babic, Chumi, Akieme; De la Hoz, Lucas Robertone; Leao Baptistao, Melero, Embarba; El Bilal Touré.
JefeBet Prediction
Cadiz is coming from an upturn that, if the World Cup in Qatar had not paused the schedule, the team would undoubtedly be in a very different place in the standings today. In any case, they will host the team with the worst away performance in La Liga, so it is a great opportunity to get the three points that will allow them to get out of the relegation zone, and defeat the classic rival in the first division.
Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that the Andalusian derby will belong to Cadiz.
Prediction: Cadiz wins 2-0.
