Deportivo Alaves are the lowest-scoring side in the division with just two goals in eight games. Cadiz have conceded 13 goals, the same as Alaves, but should be able to put up a challenge against the visitors in this home game.

A narrow win for the hosts looks like the most likely outcome from the game.

Prediction: Cadiz 1-0 Deportivo Alaves.
