Cadiz was never able to find money for a new coach, which allowed Sergio Gonzalez to keep his place as head coach of the team. Trouble threatened the Spaniard after the defeat from Rayo Vallecano, but in the next game, the yellow submarine beat Atletico (3:2), followed by a draw in a duel with Getafe (0:0). Before this match the hosts had two successful matches and five draws after 14 rounds, which corresponded to 11 points and 18th position in the standings. The match of the Spanish Cup ended unsuccessfully, in which the “yellow-blue” lost to Real Union (2:3). Alejo, Garrido, Zaluda, Kala, Chust and Gil, who has a shin injury, will not be able to take part in the game.
Almeria are still looking for their game. For 14 rounds of the current major league championship, UDA has five wins and only one peaceful outcome, which ultimately brought 16 points and 14th place in the standings. The attack played poorly, while the team conceded almost 1.5 goals on average. In the last three rounds, the Red-Whites defeated Celta (3:1) and Getafe (1:0). Just like the opponent, the match in the King’s Cup ended unsuccessfully, where Ruby’s wards failed to cope with Arenteiro (0:2). In the last control game, the guests surprisingly easily defeated Lazio (2:0). In the infirmary are Martos, Eli and Nietto, who has a knee injury.
