Getafe welcome Cadiz to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez as the two face off in a round 30 La Liga encounter on Saturday.
The hosts are 15th in the table, six points clear of Huesca in the relegation zone. Cadiz are two points ahead of Getafe, occupying 13th place in the table.
Getafe come into this game on the back of three draws, playing out stalemates against Atletico Madrid and Elche prior to the international break.
The Azulones faced a trip to Osasuna once club football resumed, and despite dominating the game, walked away with a goalless draw.

Cadiz resumed their winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Valencia at home. However, the game was marred by alleged racial abuse by Juan Cala against Mouctar Diakhaby.
Los Che walked off with the scores tied, only to resume playing later on without Diakhaby.

Getafe vs Cadiz Predicted XI
Getafe Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): David Soria (GK); Juan Iglesias, Djene Dakonam, Xabi Etxeita, Mathias Olivera; Nemanja Maksimovic, Mauro Arambarri; Allan Nyom, Carles Alena, Marc Cucurella; Jaime Mata

Getafe vs Cadiz Prediction
The negative press surrounding Juan Cala will no doubt distract Cadiz, and Getafe at home are a tough prospect at the best of times. However, the Azulones have found it difficult to score recently and will need Jaime Mata to be at his best.
We expect a closely-fought game, with Getafe earning a narrow victory.
Prediction: Getafe 1-0 Cadiz
