Cadiz invite Mallorca to the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in La Liga action on Sunday (April 28).
The hosts have lost their last two league games and are in 18th place in the league table. They trail 17th-placed Celta Vigo by six points and will need to return to winning ways to retain their top-flight status. They lost 4-1 at Girona last week, with Gonzalo Escalante scoring a consolation in the 82nd minute.
Mallorca, meanwhile, have lost their last two league games and are winless in three games. They are 16th in the standings, with 31 points, the same as Celta Vigo. They suffered a 2-1 loss at Sevilla on Monday, with Abdon Prats scoring a consolation goal in injury time, assisted by fellow substitute Sergi Darder.
This is a crucial clash for the two relegation-threatened teams and will look to avoid a loss.

Cadiz vs Mallorca Prediction
Cadiz have struggled all season and have been in poor form recently, with three losses in four games, failing to score twice.
While they have one win in 16 meetings against Mallorca, they are unbeaten in four home games in the fixture, winning once.
A lengthy absentee list is a cause for concern, but Javi Hernandez is back from suspension and should return to the starting XI.
Mallorca, meanwhile, are winless in four games across competitions, suffering three consecutive defeats, one on penalties. They are winless in away games since September and have not scored in eight of 11 games on their travels.
Considering the current form of both teams and their goalscoring struggles, a low-scoring draw could be on the cards.
