Cadiz face Albacete at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, Cádiz on Sunday, Jan 3 at 3:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the LaLiga 2, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Cadiz come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Albacete travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Cadiz and Albacete have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Cadiz won 0–1.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Cadiz win or a draw looks most likely.
