Almería comes with two home defeats -Rayo (0-2) and Real Madrid (1-3)-.
In doing so, Cádiz wants to escape from one of its direct rivals in the battle for consistency, an Almería that has a three-point lead in the standings and wants to fish at the Nuevo Mirandilla stadium to add for the first time this season.
Cádiz signed Uruguayan striker Maxi Gómez this week, on loan from Turkey’s Trabzonspor with an option to buy. The forward returns to the Spanish league after passing through clubs Celta de Vigo and Valencia he scored more than fifty goals in five seasons.
The coach of the Cadiz team, Sergio González, For this game, the Argentine midfielder Gonzalo Escalante winsafter serving a suspension after being sent off on matchday one against Alavés (1-0) which prevented him from playing on matchday one at the Lluis Companys stadium against Barcelona (2-0).
The win against the Vitoria residents allowed Cádiz to start the league from the lower places After the defeat in the city of Barcelona, he wants to confirm the strength shown at his home to continue in the quiet area.
González won’t be able to count on several injured players like the centre-back since last season Victor Chust, midfielder Brian Ocampo and forward Sergi Guardiola.
UD Almería, on the other hand, will play with the aim of finding their way to victory In the two defeats he left a good feeling and even showed merit for the victory.
The people of Almeria are obliged to do this Something that took him 31 days to win at home last year. It was in Getafe, at the fourteenth start of the team led by Joan Francesc Ferrer “Rubi”. And the intention of the rojiblancos is that this situation does not worsen, as was the case last year.
It’s true that The team, now led by Valencia’s Vicente Moreno, made a good impressionApart from the fact that the team is still under construction due to the arrival of players who are not yet adapted to the system due to physical aspects or even linguistic aspects.
However, that last aspect could mean that Senegalese Dion Lopy, who made his debut in the first game against Rayo, is not a starter The coach hasn’t ruled out that he could appear in the XI.
In any case, no changes are dared with regard to the team presented against Real Madrid last Saturday. unless you choose to enter Lopy, and this is to “notify” of a possible exit.a in case Argentine Robertone isn’t a starter.
It seems that the Portuguese Luis Maximiano will be back in goal as a regularwhile Brazilian striker Leo Baptistao still lacks the rhythm to start, and even minutes after the operation at the end of May.
The rojiblancos go to a place where victory suffocates. Overall in the 2001/02 season only one game was won, in the remaining games there were draws and defeats. disputed in the Cadista area throughout the history of the clashes.
