Cadiz CF and Almeria are back in action in the Spanish La Liga when they face off at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in Cadiz on Friday.
The hosts, who are currently second to last in the league standings, will be looking to close out the year with a win and move out of the relegation zone.
Cadiz wrapped up their friendly fixtures on December 16 when they secured a 3-0 victory over Italian side AS Roma.
Having picked up two wins and one draw from their four friendly matches, Los Piratas now return to the La Liga, where they have managed just one victory in their last eight matches.
With 11 points from 14 games, Cadiz are currently 19th in the La Liga table, but could move level on points with 15th-placed Getafe by securing all three points this weekend.
Almeria, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Lazio 2-0 in their final friendly outing.
Prior to that, they were on a four-game winless run across all competitions, losing twice and claiming two draws in that time.
With 16 points from 14 matches, Almeria are currently 14th in the league table, level on points with 13th-place Girona.
