As La Liga returns to the fold Mallorca and Cadiz are set to lock horn this weekend in the 23rd round of the La Liga at the infamous Visit Mallorca Estadi. Showdown is scheduled for 5th February 2022 at 18:15 EAT.
Mallorca is currently on an extended run of losses which has seen them sitting just outside the relegation zone (in the 17th spot) with just 20 points after 21 matches. The hosts are winless in their last five matches loosing recent four and drawing in one. They will not be able to stay clear of the drop zone any further with such performances.

In that match, Mallorca managed 45% possession and nine shots with two of them on target. Rayo Vallecano got 17 shots with two of them on target and a goal scored by Óscar Trejo (44′).
Cadiz is the exact team that is below Mallorca on the table with two points less and one game played more. In their last five league games, they have two draws, two loses and a single win. This season, Cadiz is much better on the away field than at home, and in 11 matches played outside their stadium, they have achieved three wins, three draws, and five defeats.
El Submarino Amarillo will be aiming to make amends for the 2-1 Copa del Rey loss to Valencia in their previous outing. In that game, Cádiz managed 54% possession, nine shots with only one of them on target and a goal scored by Lucas Pérez (54′).
