Cadiz lock horns with Mallorca in their La Liga fixture at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Sunday.
The home side are winless in their last six games and played out a six-goal thriller against Villarreal in their previous outing. Anthony Lozano scored a hat-trick but Villarreal came back from behind twice, scoring the equalizing goal in the fifth minute of injury time via Arnaut Danjuma.
Mallorca played a draw for the second game running as they held high-flying Sevilla to a 1-1 draw. They are in 11th place and Cadiz are struggling to get out of the relegation zone as they are in 18th place.

Cadiz vs Mallorca Prediction
Cadiz have struggled to record positive results in their recent fixtures. Although they have scored the same number of goals as Mallorca, they are sixth placed behind the visitors in the league standings.
Cadiz are winless against the visitors in 30 years and we think another disappointing result awaits them here.
Prediction: Cadiz 0-1 Mallorca.
