Cadiz and Villarreal go head-to-head at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in round seven of the Spanish La Liga on Saturday.
The hosts head into the weekend fresh off the back of claiming their first win of the season and will look to build on that result.
Cadiz finally gave their fans something to cheer about as they claimed a slender 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid two Fridays ago.
Prior to that, they were on an eight-game losing streak across all competitions, including five defeats from their opening five games of the new La Liga campaign.
With three points from six games, Cadiz are currently 19th in the league table, two points above rock-bottom Elche.
Meanwhile, Villarreal maintained their unbeaten run on home turf as they came from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw against Sevilla last time out.
Unai Emery’s men previously suffered a 1-0 loss at Real Betis on September 11 which saw their 16-game unbeaten run come to an end, before claiming a 2-1 win over Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Group C of the Conference League four days later.
Villarreal are currently sixth in the La Liga table after picking up 11 points from their six games so far.
