On Saturday evening, relegated pair Almeria and Cadiz clash at the Power Horse Stadium as both teams look to end their latest spells in La Liga with a victory.
Almeria is looking for just a third Liga win of the seasonThe Andalusians have endured a woeful campaign, as they will end the campaign in 20th position, having won just two La Liga games all season.
Almeria's woeful defensive displays have not helped their survival chances, as they have conceded a league-high of 74 goals.
That poor defensive record has been illustrated by conceding at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches in the Spanish top flight.
Unsurprisingly, considering their position, Almeria has a woeful recent home record in the Spanish top flight. In fact, they are winless on home soil in 19 games, having suffered four consecutive home defeats.
They have also conceded at least two goals in their last six home games in the Liga.
Cadiz now consigned to life in the SegundaA goalless home draw against Las Palmas last time out confirmed the visitor’s relegation to the Segunda.
However, the draw against the Islanders made Mauricio Pellegrino’s team unbeaten in three games in La Liga. The game also saw Cadiz keep a third straight clean sheet in the Spanish top flight.
Their recent games in La Liga have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 11 matches.
A 1-0 win at Sevilla in their last away game ended a run of 22 matches in the Spanish top-flight without a victory on their travels.
Cadiz had also conceded at least two goals in three of their last four Liga games.
What am I backing?Cadiz has been in the better form of the two teams. However, suffering relegation may well have dampened their momentum. I can see this being an even encounter, ending in a draw.
