Cadiz
- Cadiz are 18th in LaLiga 2 with 38 points from 36 games while Las Palmas are 7th with 60 points from the same number of games.
- Sergio Gonzalez took over at the Ramon de Carranza and has seen his new squad begin to settle after a turbulent few months of managerial comings and goings.
- Cadiz will press higher up the field and try to play more vertically under Gonzalez, which could set up an intriguing contrast in styles against a Las Palmas team that is more methodical and patient in their build-up play.
- Idiakez’s men have struggled at home this season, winning only six of 18 LaLiga 2 matches and conceding 25 goals in the process.
- Iuri Tabatadze, with six goals in 18 appearances this season, is their biggest threat and they will need him to turn up against a good Las Palmas side.
Las Palmas
- Las Palmas have won five, drawn seven and lost five of their 17 LaLiga 2 away games this term, indicating they are a solid away side.
- Luis Garcia’s team have been in strong form in the second half of the season, claiming three wins from their last five matches to put them firmly in the promotion picture.
- They will look to dictate the pace of this game and pick holes in the Cadiz defence by keeping possession and playing patiently, unlike their opponents who will be pressing higher up the pitch.
- Las Palmas’ Ale Garcia has been their most reliable source of goals, having netted seven times in 28 league games.
Head-to-Head
- Las Palmas have won two and drawn two of their last four head-to-head meetings.
- Las Palmas have won three of their last five in LaLiga 2, while Cadiz have lost their last five LaLiga 2 games in a row.
Key Players
