After this important survival battle, “Espanyol” and “Cadiz” will have eight more La Liga games to play, so neither of them will consider this match as decisive. Nevertheless, the “parrots” will desperately try to end their streak of six consecutive defeats – the worst active streak in the division – if they want to strengthen their confidence that they can avoid following “Elche” to Segunda in the next season. If the Catalans cannot take advantage of their three upcoming home clashes with the current opponent from the bottom six to survive the drop, it is difficult to argue that the relegation will ultimately be undeserved. After 29 rounds, the hosts have six victories and nine draws, which correspond to 27 points and the 19th position in the standings. Olivan and Gori will be unable to play due to a muscle injury.
Cadiz” is four points ahead of “Espanyol” and therefore out of the relegation zone. The team has only two matches left against opponents from the top eight, which gives them a chance to secure their place in the top division for next season. Five of their last six La Liga points were earned away from home, including a crucial 2-0 victory over “Betis” in their previous away game. Sergio should be confident that he will continue his own record among the teams he has coached, scoring in each of his meetings with his former employer “Espanyol”. Moreover, the current “Cadiz” has also scored in all of their matches in La Liga against clubs currently occupying 14th place or lower this season. Before this match, the visitors had seven wins and ten draws in 29 rounds, which corresponds to 31 points and 16th place in the standings. “Diarra”, “Zaldua”, “Ocampos”, “Garido”, “Eskalante”, and “Cala”, who has a bruise, will not be able to take the field.
