Cádiz and Elche will meet in the match that concludes the 17th stage of La Liga in a true derby for survival, both teams currently occupying the relegation positions.

Cádiz are 19th after 16 games with 15 points, two points behind 17th-placed Valladolid, the last team to secure promotion to Spain’s first division.

The team coached by Sergio González is coming off a very good run with two wins (one at home against Atletico Madrid, 3-2, and one away, even in the previous stage, 1-0 against Valencia), two draws and one defeat in the last five matches of the championship, but even so it remains on the verge of relegation.

Cadiz have the second weakest attack in La Liga with 11 goals conceded and only tonight’s opponents Elche behind them in this section with just 10 successes this season and the third weakest defense with 27 goals conceded (only “Celta Vigo”, 28, and Elche with 34 is worse in defense).

Elche, who sit in bottom 20th place after 16 matches with just four points, appear doomed for relegation and come on the back of a run of five consecutive league defeats, including a 0-1 defeat at home to Celta Vigo in the previous round.

Pablo Machin’s side, in their third consecutive season in La Liga after being promoted in the summer of 2020, have not won a game this season (four draws), have the league’s weakest attack with just 10 goals scored, and the weakest defense with 34 goals conceded.

In addition, Elche were ignominiously relegated from the Copa del Rey after losing 0-1 away to Ceuta, a side from Primera División RFEF (Spain’s third division).

The two teams split their wins in the previous LaLiga season, with each managing to establish themselves on their home turf, Elche 3-1 in the away leg and Cádiz 3-0 in the second leg.
