Just five matches ago, Cádiz were in contention for a top-six finish, but their form has collapsed dramatically managing just one win during that stretch. As a result, they now find themselves closer to the relegation zone than to the playoff spots. Although relegation is no longer a threat with only two games left, they have little to play for aside from pride.

Almería, on the other hand, have also struggled on the road, going winless in their last five away matches. Still, they remain firmly in the top six and are pushing for more. A victory here would close the gap to Levante to just two points and bring them closer to securing direct promotion giving them plenty of motivation to go all out for the win.
