The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Cadiz play host to Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza on Sunday.
The hosts will head into the game seeking to get one over the hosts after failing to win any of the last five meetings between the sides since 2017.
Cadiz were involved in a share of the spoils for the third game running last Monday as they played out a goalless draw at Granada.
They have now failed to win any of their last five games in all competitions, claiming three draws and losing two in that time.
With 21 points from 26 games, Cadiz are currently 18th in the La Liga table, four points off Granada just outside the relegation zone.
Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, ended their losing streak last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw with Real Betis in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
They have now turned their sights to La Liga, where they are on a five-game losing run, while managing just one draw from their last seven.
With 31 points from 25 games, Rayo Vallecano are currently 12th in the league standings, two points off Celta Vigo in the top half of the table.
