Cadiz will be looking to give their La Liga survival hopes a huge boost when they welcome Real Madrid to Nuevo Mirandilla on Sunday evening with kickoff at 8:30 pm.
Cadiz will play host to Real Zaragoza on Sunday, with both sides currently outside of the relegation zone ahead of the next set of fixtures in Spain’s top flight.
Indeed, 35 points from 36 matches have left them in 17th position and just two points clear of 18th-placed Mallorca, meaning that they could secure survival this weekend depending on how Mallorca gets on against Rayo Vallecano – who take on Getafe at the same time as this match.
Cadiz is bidding to make it back-to-back seasons at this level of football for the first time since 1993. Still, it has been a struggle this term, particularly considering they were so impressive last season – finishing 12th on their return to the top flight after a lengthy absence.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid suffered a 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid last weekend but returned to winning ways on Thursday with a 6-0 win over Levante. Vinicius Junior hit a hat trick in the 6-0 win, while Ferland Mendy, Karim Benzema and Rodrygo were also on the scoresheet for a team that secured the title at the end of April thumping Espanyol.
