Cadiz travel to Catalonia for the next match in Copa del Rey as they face Girona at the Estadi Montilivi, hoping to advance into the last-16 for the first time since 2018.
This is also the first time since 2006 that the Yellow Submarine are participating in the competition as a La Liga side.
Having gained promotion back to the top-flight after 14 years, the Andalusian outfit have been fairly impressive on their return, sitting ninth in the table after 18 games.
Some of the highlights of their season include a pair of improbable victories against Spain's 'big two', Real Madrid and Barcelona, making Cadiz the first promoted side to accomplish such a feat during the first half of a season.

Girona vs Cadiz Predicted XI
Girona (4-4-2): Arijanet Muric; Jordi Calavera, Jonas Ramalho, Santiago Bueno, Enric Franquesa; Yan Couto, Ibrahima Kebe, Ramon Terrats, Valery Fernandez; Nahuel Bustos, Alex Pachon.
Cadiz (4-4-2): Jeremias Ledesma; Iza Carcelen, Pedro Alcala, Juan Cala, Alfonso Espino; Alex Fernandez, Jens Jonsson, Rafael Jimenez, Alberto Perea; Anthony Lozano, Alvaro Negredo.
Girona vs Cadiz Prediction
This is a tough one to call as Girona are not easy to beat at home, however, the loss of Stuani to injury will play a big role here. Cadiz haven't conceded in both cups games so far and have some quality options in the attack which should see them through.
Prediction: Girona 1-2 Cadiz
