Real Betis will welcome Cadiz to the Estadio Benito Villamarín in La Liga on Sunday.
The hosts suffered their first league defeat in seven games in their previous outing as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid. They remain in fifth place in the league table but sixth-placed Villarreal have reduced the gap to one point.
Cadiz also suffered a defeat in their first league game since the international break. They managed to hold on to the clean sheet in the first half but goals from Lucas Ocampos and Youssef En-Nesyri condemned them to a 2-0 defeat at home.
While there's no official rivalry between the two sides, they are separated by just 128 kilometers and this game has some semblance of a mini-Andalusian derby.
