Cadiz will host Malaga at the Nuevo Mirandilla on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 LaLiga 2 campaign. The home side have endured a highly disappointing start to life in the Spanish second tier and currently find themselves 18th in the league table with just nine points from eight matches, one point above the drop zone.
They were beaten 3-1 by Huesca in their last match, finding themselves three goals down before Ruben Soriano reduced the deficit late in the game minutes after Ruben Alcaraz had squandered a penalty kick.
Meanwhile, Malaga have had mixed results upon their promotion to LaLiga 2 this season. They played out a goalless draw against Deportivo La Coruna in their last match and had a few chances to get on the scoresheet but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
The visitors sit 12th in the league table with 11 points from eight matches. They will aim to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.

Cadiz are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just two of their last 10 competitive outings. They are without a win in their last five home games and could struggle here.
Malaga are winless in their last three games, picking up two draws in that period. Seven of their last eight competitive games on the road have ended in draws and a repeat of the same could be on the cards this weekend.
