RCD Espanyol v Cadiz CF - La Liga Santander — Cadiz and Espanyol have emerged as early relegation candidates.

Cadiz will host Espanyol at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in La Liga on Sunday (October 9) as both teams look to pick up just their second win of the season.

With only four points in seven games, Los Piratas are second from bottom in the standings but have avoided defeat in their last two games. After opening their season with five straight defeats, Cadiz won for the first time this season when they saw off Real Valladolid 1-0, netting an injury time winner.

That was followed by a goalless draw with Villarreal as things are starting to look up for the Andalusian outfit.

Espanyol, meanwhile, haven't covered themselves in glory either, as they sit precariously above the relegation zone with five points from seven games.

The Periquitos also have just one win to show for their efforts - a narrow 1-0 defeat of Athletic Bilbao on matchday four - but have gone off the boil since then. Diego Martinez's side were minutes away from their second win last weekend, but Valencia held them to a 2-2 draw with a stoppage-time equaliser.

Espanyol had fought back from a goal down to lead 2-1 in the 83rd minute as three points appeared to have been secured. However, Eray Comert struck for the Bats in the 96th minute to break Espanyol hearts.
