Cadiz are set to play Sevilla at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Monday for their next La Liga game.
Cadiz come into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw against Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid in the league. Despite registering nine shots on target, the likes of Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard were unable to find the net against Cadiz.
Sevilla, on the other hand, drew 1-1 against Xavi's Barcelona in the league. A goal from former Atalanta forward and Argentina international Papu Gomez for Sevilla was cancelled out by a goal from Uruguayan centre-back Ronald Araujo for Barcelona. Sevilla had French centre-back Jules Kounde sent off in the second-half.
