Cádiz will play in front of the home fans at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Saturday when they entertain second-placed Barcelona for a one-on-one La Liga clash with implications at both ends of the table. The clash is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Relegation-Threatened Cadiz Need A Win to Keep Their Survival Hopes Alive in the Run-In
Cádiz FC are three points from safety in La Liga. They currently have 25 points from 30 rounds of fixtures and sit 18th, inside the relegation zone.
They must start picking up points in the last eight matches remaining in the La Liga if they are to make up the three-point deficit and climb out of the drop zone.
The home clash against Barcelona after the Blaugrana have hosted PSG in the Champions League quarter-final will be as good a time to play Barcelona as any. The focus for Cádiz will be to get something from the clash.
Two Points Ahead of Girona, Barcelona Need a Win to Solidify Second Position in La Liga
Barcelona is unbeaten in its last five matches and has won the last three consecutive matches in La Liga. It has powered past Girona to second place in the table.
They hold a two-point advantage over Girona, and a win at Cadiz is crucial for them to keep hold of the second spot as the run-in hots up.
The lead-up to the trip to Cádiz CF will be complicated by their home clash against French Champions PSG in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
Xavi will have to rotate his side to ensure they are fresh for the clash on Saturday. The second leg against PSG is coming up next week in France.
